WHO\u27S GOING TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY WHO CALLS YOU A MAIN STREETER COMMUNISM, CULTURE, AND COMMUNITY IN SHERIDAN COUNTY, MONTANA, 1918,1934

So began Logan\u27s long career in Sheridan County. The year was 1930, and she had just arrived from North Dakota, a fresh Cum Laude graduate of Jamestown College. The social and cultural walls that divided the community were at once unambiguously defined for her-with a simple list. The good Catholics and Lutherans of Plentywood made sure that the custodians of their children\u27s minds would be well insulated from the riffraff of the town-the liquor distillers, the bootleggers, and, of course, the reds. The social center of the community, the Farmer-Labor Templethe Red Temple to local conservatives-was generally off limits to Logan and her fellow teachers. The countless parties, dances, and celebrations held there were not to be part of their social life; that list guaranteed it. Emblazoned with hammers and sickles, the red flags that occasionally adorned the Temple marked for Plentywood\u27s teachers and their middleclass guardians-contemptuously referred to as mainstreeters by local left-wing criticsan ideological divide so immense as to be unbridgeable. Local communists were socially unacceptable, Bernadine Logan concluded, and anyway, who\u27s going to dance with somebody who calls you a mainstreeter

Individual Facial Coloration in Male Eulemur fulvus rufus: A Condition-dependent Ornament?

Researchers studying individual variation in conspicuous skin coloration in primates have suggested that color indicates male quality. Although primate fur color can also be flamboyant, the potential condition dependence and thus signaling function of fur remains poorly studied. We studied sources of variation in sexually dichromatic facial hair coloration in red-fronted lemurs (Eulemur fulvus rufus). We collected data on 13 adult males in Kirindy Forest, Madagascar, during two study periods in 2006 and 2007, to determine whether variation in facial hair coloration correlates with male age, rank, androgen status, and reproductive success. We quantified facial hair coloration via standardized digital photographs of each male, assessed androgen status using fecal hormone measurements, and obtained data on reproductive success through genetic paternity analyses. Male facial hair coloration showed high individual variation, and baseline coloration was related to individual androgen status but not to any other parameter tested. Color did not reflect rapid androgen changes during the mating season. However, pronounced long-term changes in androgen levels between years were accompanied by changes in facial hair coloration. Our data suggest that facial hair coloration in red-fronted lemur males is under proximate control of androgens and may provide some information about male quality, but it does not correlate with dominance rank or male reproductive success

Workers, Managers, and Welfare Capitalism: The Shoemakers and Tanners of Endicott Johnson, 1890-1950

Workers, Managers, and Welfare Capitalism is a detailed examination of life and labor at the Endicott Johnson Corporation, one of the largest shoe and leather manufacturers in the U.S. in the first half of the 20th century -- and a major practitioner welfare capitalism. It traces the emergence, expansion, and ultimate decline of its paternalist corporate practices (employee housing, medical care, recreational facilities, profit sharing, and more) under the leadership of George F.
