Mitochondrial DNA genetic diversity among four ethnic groups in Sierra Leone
Although there are numerous ethnic groups in Sierra Leone, the Mende and Temne together account for approximately 60% of the total population.

The Perfect Informant
Personal war narratives are strategic devices, utilized for different ends by tellers and listeners. Such narratives take their meaning from application as much as or more than from overt content, and they may be utilized to ratify group identity and to create personal identity. Some men create heroic military pasts for themselves out of narratives they've heard others tell. Such constructed personalities are dependent upon listeners whose needs …

What Happened to Jody
LIFE IN AN ARMY during wartime and life in prison anytime have a number of aspects in common, so it is not surprising when we find items of folklore shared by both camps. One mutual concern is who is doing what, with, and to the woman one left at home. Negro folklore, this concern is personified in the songs and toasts about one the Grinder-Jody, a contraction of Joe the, and a metaphor in folk use for a certain kind of coital movement. Jody's ac…

Circus and Street
The Circus reenacts many of the persistent problems of ambivalence: terror and sadism, horror and masochism are activated, then immediately and magically dissolved. No mature relationship is dramatized, and the circus audience leaves the tent arena as childlike as it entered. This is appropriate for children, whose aim is mastery of external reality, in contrast to the grown-up, whose aim is mastery of internal reality
