A Framework for Measuring Leaders' Willingness to Use Force
Political leaders' willingness to use force is central to many explanations of foreign policy and interstate conflict. Unfortunately, existing indicators typically measure one aspect of this general concept, have limited coverage, and/or are not derived independently of leaders' participation in interstate conflicts. We develop a strategy for constructing measures of leaders' underlying willingness to use force with data on their background exper…

Measuring Policy Content on the U.S. Supreme Court
Political scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated understandings of the influences on Supreme Court decision making. Yet, much less attention has been paid to empirical measures of the Court's ideological output. We develop a theory of the interactions between rational litigants, lower court judges, and Supreme Court justices. We argue that the most common measure of the Supreme Court's ideological output—whether the Court's decision…
Race, Political Empowerment, and Minority Perceptions of Judicial Fairness
Objective. Recent studies of the impact of black elite electoral success on the system‐supporting attitudes of black citizens have yielded mixed, but generally unimpressive, empirical results. We extend this limited research by examining the effects of the presence of black judicial officials on public attitudes toward a state judicial system. Methods. We employ data from a telephone survey of citizens in Mississippi and develop multivariate mode…

The Unholy Grail in Walker Percy's Lancelot
THE UNHOLY GRAIL IN WALKER PERCY'S LANCELOT C. E. SMITH Los Angeles At the beginning of Walker Percy's fourth novel, Lancelot, the title character finds himself confined in an insane asylum, unsure of exact- ly how he got there. Seeing his old friend Percival, who is both a Catholic priest and a psychiatrist, somehow cures his supposed amnesia. Lancelot explains how the discovery of his wife's infidelity drove him to murder her, her lover, and a …
Party Balancing and Voting for Congress in the 1996 National Election
We extend Fiorina's balancing theory by developing and testing inferences from a simple and general spatial model of partisan preference in two institutional dimensions. This model contains a number of theoretical and methodological insights that have not yet been articulated in the growing literature on the origins of divided government. We focus here on the model's most basic implications, emphasizing first that the act of party balancing requi…
The dynamics of committee outliers: Evidence from the house of representatives, 1951–90
In this study, we enter the on‐going debate on committee outliers by addressing two important points. First, we dispute the conventional wisdom that committee outliers are best identified and evaluated using traditional tests of statistical significance. Contesting the appropriateness of such tests, we contend that any observed difference between chamber behaviour and floor behaviour may be substantively significant and use raw mean differences b…
Campaigning for the Supreme Court: The Dynamics of Public Opinion on the Thomas Nomination
Little of the considerable research devoted to the connections between the Supreme Court and the mass public has addressed popular attitudes toward nominees to the High Bench. Here we hope to stimulate interest in this important and understudied area by examining the wellsprings of opinionation and sentiment toward the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas. Relying on data from CBS News/New York Times polls and using statistical models of opini…

Data acquisition in the undergraduate laboratory
The use of digital oscilloscopes having print/plot capability is discussed in reference to data acquisition in the undergraduate laboratory. These instruments can increase productivity in the laboratory while keeping the data acquisition system almost transparent to the user. >

Rock Art Research In Australia 1974-94
In 1969, John Mulvaney wrote that: It is difficult for a prehistorian to assess Aboriginal art. Until recently it possessed no time depth ... Neither can an Australian prehistorians escape the conditioning influence of ethnographic data. A prehistorian may infer the methods of application or techniques of engraving from observation, but comment concerning motivation and meaning is beyond the scope of normal archaeological activities. Despite some…

A DC current limited ammeter protection circuit
Ammeters are always connected in series in the branch where a current is measured. Unfortunately, parallel connection can destroy a meter if connected by mistake, as often happens in introductory electric circuits instructional laboratories. To protect an ammeter from excessive currents caused by parallel connection, an op-amp/Zener diode circuit has been designed to effectively operate as a current-limited ammeter. >
Patterns and Sources of Ticket Splitting in Subpresidential Voting
The primary source of divided government in the United States is voters who split their ballots between the parties. Yet there has been little comprehensive examination of either patterns or sources of ticket splitting in recent years. Instead, divergent lines of research have emerged, emphasizing such things as voter partisanship, incumbency, and a "new" (young, well-educated, even partisan) kind of ticket splitter; and their focus has been too …
The Influence of the Economy on Party Identification in the Reagan Years
Utilizing frequent measurements taken during a period of considerable economic volatility, our research explores how short-term fluctuations in partisanship have operated and continue to operate within a limited range before permanent realignment occurs. Specifically, we examine monthly fluctuations in the aggregate distribution of partisan identifiers between 1981 and 1986. We show that there were systematic changes in the partisan balance durin…

Moment Methods in Electromagnetics for Undergradcuates
Moment methods have recently emerged as one of the most important tools for the solution of electromagnetic fields problems. This approach is conceptually simple and easily usable by the practicing engineer. However, the formal presentation of moment method is founded in the theory of linear vector spaces which makes it beyond the scope of most undergraduate electrical engineering curricula This paper documents the experience in undergraduate tea…

A study of the autonomic excitation resulting from the interaction of individual opinion and group opinion
In this experiment the behavior of subjects was observed simultaneously on two levels, the verbal and the sympathetic. A situation was created wherein a subject had to agree or to disagree verbally statements presented, having been informed previously of the majority opinion of the group of which he was a member. By combination of responses and by changes from an original opinion, the possibility of conflict was present. Responses of no were acco…

A New Approach to the Problem of Racial Differences
So numerous and so obstinate are the difficulties that beset the experimental path of those who essay investigation in the field of racial differences that it is not surprising that an examination of results hitherto published fails to show much that is entirely reliable and decisive. The issue in every case seems to be clouded by the incomplete elimination of some of the many variables that obtrude themselves into any practical scheme of interra…
