The 1964 Surgeon General's Report and Americans' Beliefs about Smoking
Half a century ago, on January 11, 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General's office released a landmark report on the health consequences of smoking. That report received massive media attention and triggered a steadily growing number of federal, state, and local restrictions on the advertising, sale, and use of cigarettes. Little is known about the report's impact on American public opinion because all the timely public opinion polls that measured the re…
Representing Public Opinion
Whether American courts either do or should represent public opinion is a long‐debated issue. Some court rulings agree with nationwide public opinion polls, while others do not. Overall, does the appeals process bring judicial policy‐making more closely into line with American public opinion? Evidence from nationwide polls since the mid‐1930s suggests that U.S. Supreme Court decisions and federal appeals courts decisions better represent American…
Symbolic versus Policy Representation on the U.S. Supreme Court
Presidents often pick Supreme Court justices at least in part for their symbolic appeal to geographic, sex, racial, religious, or partisan groups. Whether these symbolic appointees actually represent group attitudes particularly well during their tenure on the Court, however, has not yet been examined. Evidence from 107 rulings during the Warren, Burger, and Rehnquist Courts indicates that most symbolic appointees to the Courts do not vote for th…
Policymaking and the Modern Court
VAILABLE research offers strikingly different images of the Supreme Court's success as a policy-maker. On one hand, some accounts depict the Supreme Court as a powerful policy-maker, whose rulings are rarely overturned. Only six to nine Constitutional amendments have overturned specific Court rulings (Abraham 1980: 351-58; Library of Congress 1973: 1789-97, 1983: S332-33). Despite periodic Court-curbing efforts in Congress (Nagel 1965; Handberg a…
Evaluating Presidential Nominees
SINCE 1968 the presidential nominations process has been greatly changed by new party rules, federal election reforms, and the growth of openly contested primaries and caucuses. Although these changes have greatly increased the party rank-and-file's importance in deciding nominations, relatively little is yet known about how voters choose among the would-be nominees. This research note draws upon a series of nationwide polls taken during the 1980…

textbooks, newscasts, and political documentaries are openly concerned with politics; these have received the most attention from scholars.1 So far, however, scholars have paid less attention to two other media children's literature and normal (non-newscast) television. While these media are seldom overtly political, their omission from socialization studies is both curious and unfortunate. Children's books and television are widely read and view…
Party Responsibility Revisited
MERICAN political parties have not fared well by their critics in recent years. Among the most common complaints leveled against U.S. major parties is their alleged failure to provide clear policy choices for the electorate. For more than a quarter century advocates have argued that parties could play a more important role in providing for popular control over government policy-making.' To its advocates, party responsibility entails policy articu…

Party Responsibility Revisited
Turnout and Representation
Since the work of V. 0. Key, several surveys have tested representation in primary elections. In many states, however, open-precinct caucuses and conventions supplement or replace primaries as a basis for grass roots party organization and in presidential delegate selection. Contrary to most assumptions, one state party's open-precinct caucuses were found to perform as well as equivalent primaries in representing policy, candidate or party-relate…
America, the Nations and the League
nNE of the marvels to me has been the absolute inerrancy with V which so many men in America were able immediately upon the receipt of the first draft for the proposed League of Nations to announce authoritatively what it would and would not do to the republic.Having spent three and thirty of the best years of my life in the practice of the law, during which constitutional cases not infre- quently arose, I ascertained that a century and a quarter…
