Kielbowicz Press-government relations entered a new phase in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as hoth institutions adapted to the rise of the modern industrial state. Whereas the press once had been chiefly concerned with the actions of politicians holding federal office, publishers now felt the growing presence of professional administrators. To be sure, politicians in Congress and Executive departments continued to play an important part in shaping laws affecting the press. But the federal bureaucracy increasingly decided issues vital lo all industries, including the business of publishing. Ad- ministrators not onlv implemented laws, which required an ever larger range of discretion, but thev also used their expertise to influence the policymaking process in Congress.' At the same time, publishers directed more of their lobbying efforts toward influencing administrators. Of all the federal departments and agencies routinely interacting with the press, none was more important than the post office. The post office had, of course, performed services central to the operations of the press since colonial times. ^ But as the department and the publishing industry increased in size and complexity during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, post office personnel enjoved greater latitude to administer policies fashioned by Congress. Moreover. Congress relied on the guidance of postal administrators during the policymaking process; indeed, some congressional actions simply reified in law what the post office, exercising its administrative discretion, had been doing in practice.^ The post office moved forthrightly to implement its construction of a law when the established, influential segments of the publishing industrv supported its efforts. The changing nature of press-government relations can be illustrated by tracing the origins, administrative elaboration, and application of a single rule. In 1879 Congress created the modern second-class mail category. Among several requirements for admission to the second-class mail was the stipulation that a publication had to have a legitimate list of paid subscribers. The paid subscriber rule, which received little attention when Congress RICHARD B. KIELBOWICZ (Ph.D., Minnesota) is an assistant professor in the School of Communications at the University of Washington, Seattle. The research for this article was conducted under contract to the U.S. Postal Rate Commission and presented in a paper to it, but the views expressed are not necessarily those of the Commission, any Commissioner, or the Commission staff. The author would like to thank Linda Lawson, Ph.D. candidate, School of Communications, University of Washington, for her assistance. ^ American Journalism IV (1987): 1 created it in 1879, became a linchpin in the post office's construction and application of postal laws in the ensuing decades. By 1917, the post office had fully fleshed out the rule, and it has changed little since despite recent challenges to its constitutionality.'' The history of the paid subscriber rule, in short, reveals the growing autonomy of the federal bureaucracy in one realm of vital importance to the press. Origins and Initial Interpretation of the Rule Congress laid the statutory foundation for the paid subscriber rule in 1879 when it created the four categories of mail still used today. Although the rule was largely synthesized from earlier statutes, it also embodied principles developed in the administrative decisions of the post office.^ To be eligible for second-class rates, publications had to meet four con- ditions. The first three were technical: Publications had to be regularly issued at least four times a year from a known office of publication and printed on sheets without substantial binding. More important was the fourth condition,

  • Round 02 - Tossups
    NSC 2018 - Round 02 - Tossups 1. A 1958 book on the "method of theory" of the "American" form of this discipline stated the authors' belief that this discipline is "anthropology or it is nothing." A 20th-century practitioner of this discipline adapted Robert Merton's idea of "middle range theories" to describe an approach to this discipline that involved ethnographic fieldwork among hunter-gatherer societies. Lewis Binford pioneered the "new," or (*) "processual," form of this discipline. The "Harris matrix" is a method of creating seriation diagrams in ​ this discipline that rely on the laws of "original horizontality," "stratigraphic succession," and "superposition." Sites such as Göbekli Tepe (go-BEK-lee TEH-pay) and Cahokia (kuh-HO-kee-uh) are examined by practitioners of, ​ ​ ​ ​ for 10 points, what academic discipline concerning the excavation of human-built sites? ANSWER: archaeology [accept ethnoarchaeology or processual archaeology or new archaeology or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ middle-range archaeology; accept forms of the word archaeology such as archaeological study; do not accept ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ or prompt on "paleontology" or similar answers] <Hart, Social Science - Other> 2. Residents of a locale created by this author include Elias, who fails exams to be a doctor and a sanitary inspector before eventually becoming a cart driver, and a poet who fails to write anything past the first line of his magnum opus and is named B. Wordsworth. In another novel by this author, Father Huismans collects African masks, and a man who worships the cult of the Black Madonna takes over an unnamed town. The shopkeeper Salim lives in a country led by the (*) Big Man in a novel by this man, who also wrote ​ Miguel Street and a novel whose title character, an eleven-fingered sign-painter, marries into the overbearing ​ Tulsi family.

INHERIT THE MYTH: HOW WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN'S STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL DARWINISM AND LEGAL FORMALISM DEMYTHOLOGIZE THE SCOPES MONKEY TRIAL KEVIN P. LEE* The trial of John T. Scopes is an important milestone in the history of American legal thought. Known in the vernacular as the "Scopes Monkey Trial," the case took place in Dayton, Tennessee in the summer of 1925.1 It concerned a substitute high school biology teacher who was arrested and convicted for teaching evolutionary theory in violation of a Tennessee anti- evolution act.2 At the time, the trial was the most public confrontation between religious fundamentalism and modem science. By 1955, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee had written a play about the trial called Inherit the Wind,3 and film treatments of that play followed.4 These fictionalized accounts helped to create a mythic view of the case in popular culture.
