A Pilot Study of Wichita Indian Archeology and Ethnohistory
In 1965 several anthropologists drew up plans for a one-year pilot study of the archeology and ethnohistory of the Wichita Indian tribes. After financial support had been generously provided by the National Science Foundation, the proposed research was carried out. This is a report on the results of that study. The pilot study was designed to: a) obtain a body of field data from the components of the Spanish Fort sites, the largest and best=docum…

The MIFAS is the first large-scale (n = 7,019) nationwide study of Mori aged 18 and over that aims to correlate personal cultural beliefs and practices to economic choices. This article describes the theoretical underpinnings of the MIFAS in i…
Palestinian Counter-Hero
“Fadi must be buried as a martyr,” they said, “his death is a loss for the cause!”My father threw them out. “To hell with you and your whoring cause!” he yelled at them. “My son didn't die a martyr. He didn't die fighting. He was caught in the crossfire between bastards like you!”1

Rolland, Gandhi and Madeleine Slade
Between 6 and 11 December in 1931, a meeting occurred between the French intellectual Romain Rolland; Madeleine Slade, the daughter of a British Admiral; and Mahatma Gandhi. Rolland wanted Gandhianism to counter the excesses of both communism and fascism and fantasized that, in gaining the Mahatma’s aid in the fight against Western authoritarianism, a Eurasian collaboration would redeem the Occident from its suicidal violence. Gandhi disappointed…
Parallel Lives
Free Zone (Amos Gitai, 2005); The Lemon Tree (Eran Riklis, 2008) and Syrian Bride (Eran Riklis, 2004), explore the Arab-Israeli conflict through women’s experience of the political and military stalemate. In presenting Palestinian, Druze, and Israeli women, these filmmakers attempt to contrast and compare women’s shared encounters, including their experience of patriarchy. While the characters may come from diametrically opposed sides, their expe…

Defining 'De Facto' Slavery in Australia
This article examines a recent judgment of the High Court of Australia, R v. Tang which raises questions about the definition, conceptualisation and language of slavery. The authors argue that by using the language of 'slavery' to describe certain conduct, the court provides a powerful tool to address circumstances that are criminally harmful to women
General practitioner management of genetic aspects of a cardiac disease
It is increasingly recognised that genetics will have to be integrated into all parts of primary health care. Previous research has demonstrated that involvement and confidence in genetics varies amongst primary care providers. We aimed to analyse perceptions of primary care providers regarding responsibility for genetic tasks and factors affecting those perceptions. Postal questionnaire including a hypothetical case management scenario of a card…

Forgetting the Forgotten Ones
Haim Gouri’s poem “Hanishkahim” (The Forgotten Ones) has appeared in several versions and in a number of collections. Suggesting the noble heroism of soldiers dying in battle, this poem has become an example of the symbolic repertoire employed to enforce national myths. As part of the “Palmah generation” of poets, Gouri’s own life, as well as the imagery of the poetry, articulates the ideals of the sabras who fought and died in the Israeli War of…
Decay and Death
The city's motto "I will build you and you will be rebuilt," from Jeremiah (31:4) is confronted and even challenged in literary depictions of Tel-Aviv. The mythology prevalent in the city's creation narrative is shattered through the use of urban tropes, such as the street, prostitution, urban sprawl, and the protagonist's isolation, and even eventual suicide, in fictional texts from the 1970s onwards. This article examines texts by Ya'akov Shabt…

Measuring the use of mammography
Population studies often estimate mammography use using women's self-reports. In one North Carolina county, we compared self-report surveys with a second method--counting mammograms per population--for 1987 and 1989. Estimates from self-reports (35% in 1987, 55% in 1989) were considerably higher than those from mammogram counts (20% in 1987, 36% in 1989). We then confirmed 66% of self-reports in the past year. Self-reported use is more accurate r…
