Minority Support for School Bonds in Charlotte-Mecklenburg
This article examines support for school bonds among minority group members in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, which includes the city of Charlotte.

Neighborhood Characteristics, Chain Grocery Stores, and Food
Food prices, selection, and quality, and the cleanliness of stores were examined among 2 7 chain grocery stores in Charlotte, North Carolina Neighborhood income was, at best, modestly related to measures of these variables, while the percentage of blacks in a neighborhood was more strongly related The size of the chains with which grocery stores were affiliated strongly affected food prices, but had little influence upon other variables. The perc…
Lawyers in Corporate Chief Executive Positions
The backgrounds and careers of lawyer-corporate chief executive officers in each of three historical populations of corporate chief executive officers are examined. Contrary to Newcomer (1955), the proportion of lawyer-chief executives now appears to be increasing. Data also indicate that the backgrounds of lawyer-chief executives frequently include attendance at prestigious undergraduate educational institutions and law schools, and initial posi…
Elite and Upper Class in Philadelphia, 1914
This study examines the relationship between the Philadelphia elite and upper class in 1914. Much of this study is a historical replication of Baltzell's (1958) empirical analysis of the Philadelphia elite and upper class in 1940. Data on the occupations, educational attainments and affiliations, club memberships, and religious affiliations of upper-class and non-upper-class members of the Philadelphia elite in 1914 generally are comparable to th…
A Note on Who's Who in America as a Biographical Data Source in Studies of Elites
This article examines the comprehensiveness of Who's who in America coverage of elites and the extent of biographical data reported in Who's Who in America biographies using two business elite populations derived from standard sources. Who's Who in America coverage of the two business elite populations appeared fairly comprehensive when three editions were examined for each population. The extent of data reported in Who's Who in America biographi…
Authority Position, Legitimacy of Authority Structure, and Acquiescence to Authority
This paper reports a quasi-replication of Lopreato's test of hypotheses derived from Dahren-dorf's theory of class and class conflict in imperatively coordinated associations. Using survey data from a probability sample of Hamilton County, Ohio, adults, measures are constructed of position in the authority structure, perception of the legitimacy of the authority structure, and acquiescence to authority. Our analysis supports Dahrendorf's contenti…
Two Patterns of Establishing Trust
Trust has been little investigated outside the experimental laboratory situation, and its processual aspects have largely been neglected (cf. Swinth, 1967). Two common interactional patterns through which the marijuana user establishes the relationships of trust necessary for his drug-related activity are examined. The "disclosure pattern" occurs in three stages and provides the marijuana user with a coherent set of "identity documents" (Gross an…
