Rae’s book analyses southern Democrats as a force in American politics since the 1960s. Drawing on interviews with many southern politicians, Rae traces the history of southern Democrats from the ...erosion of their national influence in the early 1960s to the 1992 election of Clinton and Gore.

This volume collects together Sir Alec Cairncross' most important contributions to the economic history of the post-1939 period. They address such major issues as the role of economists in the 2nd ...World War, the significance of the Marshall plan and Britain's relative economic decline. Together they demonstrate a keen insight into the changing role of the economist in government and the gradual transformation of the economic landscape.

The high-energy gamma-ray telescope EGRET observed the positions of two young pulsars, ${\rm PSR} \ 1951 + 32$ and $1509 - 58$, during its all-sky survey. Despite their youth and relative proximity ...to the Earth, neither pulsar is detected as a point source or in periodicity analysis. Flux limits of a few $\times 10^{-7}\ {\rm photon\enspace cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}$ are obtained for emission above 100 MeV, and $\sim 10^{-6}\ {\rm photon\enspace cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}$ for 30–100 MeV. For the conventional assumption of beaming into 1 sr, the flux limits suggest that less than 3.2 per cent of the radiation from ${\rm PSR} \ 1509-58$, and less than 1.8 per cent from ${\rm PSR} \ 1951 + 32$, is in the form of beamed high-energy gamma-rays. The ${\rm PSR} \ 1509 - 58$ limits lie approximately one order of magnitude below the extrapolated hard X-ray spectrum and suggest that the spectrum steepens in the MeV region.
Event study methodology is used to assess the effects of the 1951 US Supreme Court Schwegmann decision, which severely weakened the enforcement of resale price maintenance contracts in the United ...States. Overall, upstream industries with heavy RPM usage apparently were not adversely affected by the decision. Among large retailing groups, a positive effect of the decision was found for department stores. Cross-section tests of the motives for the adoption of RPM provide support for hypotheses based on free-ridership, dealer cartels, and to a lesser extent protection of product reputation.
A capsule history of women's filmmaking in Mexico is presented, and Maria Novaro's "Lola" is analyzed. In "Lola," Novaro traces emotional sparks of female youth subculture in Mexico City that allow ...an unusual perspective on Mexican women today.
