Insurgency, Counter-insurgency and Policing in Centre-West Mexico, 1926-1929
In Insurgency, Counter-insurgency and Policing in Centre-West Mexico, 1926–1929, Mark Lawrence attempts to discern what led communities in Mexico to join the pro-Catholic uprising of the mid-1920s known as the Cristero Rebellion, to oppose it, or to remain neutral. The book focuses on greater Zacatecas—an area that, here, extends beyond the state into Durango and parts of Jalisco. Lawrence thus adds to the rich Cristero historiography, the scope …
Local Church, Global Church
As a universal religion, Catholicism is inherently transnational. Yet beliefs and practices also arise from regional histories. This volume seeks to apprehend this dual quality with chapters that examine how Catholic activists addressed local and national problems by drawing on theological tenets and church networks. Substituting nuance for simplifying dichotomies and surprisingly durable caricatures, Local Church, Global Church moves forward the…
Mexican Exodus
Scores of Mexicans fled to the United States from the violence of the Cristero Rebellion, in which Catholic partisans combated anticlerical reforms enacted by the government of Plutarco Elías Calles in the late 1920s. Their flight abroad and subsequent activism—smuggling arms, distributing propaganda, and working to consolidate opposition—gave the rebellion a transnational dimension overlooked in the local-level studies of the conflict. Julia You…
The Revolution on Trial
The 1928 trial of José de León Toral, assassin of Mexican caudillo Álvaro Obregón, afforded President Plutarco Elías Calles the opportunity to show domestic and international audiences that the revolution had yielded a nation of laws predicated on spiritual principles. Summary executions of Catholics had allowed detractors and even sympathetic observers to question the depth of civic values in Mexico. The article shows how authorities deliberatel…

Does patient–provider gender concordance affect mental health care received by primary care patients with major depression
Do the Effects of Quality Improvement for Depression Care Differ for Men and Women
Objective: We sought to examine whether a quality improvement (QI) program for depression care is effective for both men and women and whether their responses differed. Design: We instituted a group-level, randomized, controlled trial in 46 primary care practices within 6 managed care organizations. Clinics were randomized to usual care or to 1 of 2 QI programs that supported QI teams, provider training, nurse assessment and patient education, an…
Communities of Care and Caring
Can a health-care website stimulate its members to become a `community of care and caring', facilitating both medical `information' and personal `support'? This study of MSWatch.com provides conceptual distinctions about `ties' to a `community' and raises questions about communications designed to serve patients with Multiple Sclerosis. An online survey of members of the website shows that members tend to: (1) make use of both its health-care inf…
Parenting Dimensionality and Typology in a Disadvantaged, African American Sample
Although parenting dimensionality and typology have been extensively examined with middle-class Caucasian samples, the parenting styles of low-income, African American mothers have been underexamined. This study focused on the parenting cognitions of single, adolescent, African American mothers from disadvantaged communities. Three parenting dimensions emerged from maternal reports: warmth, control, and anger. Parents were classified into four ca…

Death Penalty Charging in Los Angeles County
The authors analyze death penalty charging data for Los Angeles County involving homicides from 1990 to 1994. The data were collected by the Los Angeles Times. This data set is one of the largest tabulations of homicide defendant data yet collected. A Bayesian logistic regression analysis is applied with a proper prior formulated to provide conservative inferences. The authors illustrate procedures for inferences for polytomous predictors and rep…
Chance and the Death Penalty
We address capriciousness in decisions by prosecutors to charge homicide defendants with a capital crime. We suggest that it is useful to think of such decisions as a kind of lottery in which one should focus on the distribution of outcomes when considering both the nature of capriciousness and the degree of capriciousness. After our conceptional framework is introduced, we illustrate our ideas with the analysis of a data set from San Francisco

Postgraduate Training and Work Experience of Non-ECFMG Certified Physicians in the U.S
Data on postgraduate training and work experience of a sample of 850 Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) taking the January 1973 ECFMG examination in the U.S. are presented. It was found that 485 (57%) of the respondents had specialty training and, of these 485, 59 per cent were certified in a specialty. In addition, 81 per cent reported that they had worked as a physician prior to entering the U.S. The proportions with specialty training and work e…
Physician Manpower Data
The problems inherent in the AMA physician manpower data base are illustrated by a cohort study of physicians immigrating to the United States between 1961 and 1971. An estimated 33 per cent of the 27,710 immigrants in the cohort were not on the 1971 AMA physician file. The results of this study and consideration of other problems with the AMA data point to the need for a new data base which will include all physicians working in the U.S. We woul…
Emotional Adjustment, Social Organization and Psychiatric Treatment Rates
Mexican society are reflected in the measures of the behaviorial intent of otherwise comparable Anglo-American and Mexican subjects. The marginal Mexican-Americans, though still influenced by their parent culture, tend to favor the universalistic value orientation of the country in which they now work and live, and within whose status structure they now function. The pattern of results also indicates that particularistic individuals tend to be al…
On Producing Random Responses
This paper has surveyed studies of response patterning in an attempt to illustrate the various ways in which this fact of behavior has been used in psychology. The view is expressed that response biasing takes on significance as an important dependent variable when we note that human Ss are unable to generate binary choices in a random sequence even when instructed to do so. Production of random sequences may be intimately related to processes of…
Christmas in an Apartment Hotel
From a small study of Christmas images and activities, carried out among the residents of a Chicago apartment hotel, it was found, in general, that Christmas is seen as a day for reaffirming personal ties-particularly with kin-more so among women than men. Although the sample population tends not to maintain close kinship ties ordinarily, it was the rule that they made great effort to spend some part of Christmas Day within a family setting. Role…
