Henry A. Wallace: Quixotic Crusade 1948, Karl M. Schmidt

Books

THE TWO-PARTY system has been a feature of the American political scene for all except a few brief periods in our history. Yet, during most of the last 130 years, the traditional two major parties have had in virtually every election at least one minor-party competitor. Despite this persistence, there has been a continuing pattern of failure. Never has an American third party been successful in displacing a major competitor. (Both the Whigs and the Republicans grew and came to power in two of those rare periods when a single major party was dominant.) The presidential campaign of 1948 was …

Like all publishing ventures, this modest periodical is a venture of faith. We hope that it will bring its readers a sense of the significant growth in the quality of our University Library and of the vital role it plays in our program of higher education.

As an organization the Library Associates is less than five years old. In this brief period, however, we have seen the doubling of annual expenditures for the purchase of books and periodicals and an almost explosive change in the number of gifts to the Library and the quality of library services to the faculty, …

Occupational Controls Among Steel Distributors, Louis Kriesberg

Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration

A steel gray market, condemned by the government, flourished in the period following the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. The steel-distribution system was analyzed to understand why some distributors participated in the gray market and others did not. Distributors were typed according to their relationship to the distribution system; each type experienced different degrees of control from suppliers, customers, and colleagues; and the norms prescribed by these agents of control also differed. This analysis then suggested some general observations about the nature of occupational norms and occupational organization.

Retail Furrier: Concepts Of Security And Success, Louis Kriesberg

Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration

The separation of the artisan function into specialized manufacturing, distributing, and retailing occupations has occurred in most trades. In studying a contemporary example of this process, different occupational values were found to be associated with different occupational situations. retail furriers operating custom fur shops think of the secure furrier in self-oriented terms; those operating business fur shops think of the secure furrier in customer-oriented terms. Because of the nature of success in the United States and the social organization of the retail fur trade, less difference was noted in their characterization of the successful furrier.
