TaummbaulIl, Editur In addition to the finest research offered to us in the last year, this issue of COMMONWEALTH has a special feature: the Index to Volumes I through 5 will be found following the articles. Covering the first five years of CoMMoN­ WEALTH, it indicates the range of quality manuscripts recommended by our reviewers. Examining the 26 we published, a breakdown by subfield reflects a pattern similar to one I noted in this space ~o years ago, in Volume 3. To date, the largest number of articles, 12, have been in American politics, including six on Pennsylvania government and politics, a special interest of a number of our readers. In second place were seven articles on political theory, followed by four in comparative politics, two which examined international relations, and one in biopolitics. We would have liked to have had more publishable manuscripts sent to us on these last three subjects, but for a variety of reasons, including the number of specialized journals in these areas, we were not. We continue to welcome all of the fine rn:lnlJscripts we can get, in all suhfields and areas. The Index is divided into three parts. An Author Index lists the authors and co-authors of all 26 articles in the five volumes alphabetically by last name, followed by the Iocation of each article. The Title Index lists all articles in order of appearance, beginning with those in Volume 1. Finally, a. Subfield1Area Index lists articles al))habetically by the five major cate!!;ories and one s))ecial interest category (pennsylvania Politics) noted above. I want to express my appreciation to my editorial assistant,Christopher T. Leonardo of Gettysburg College, for the special effort he made in compiling the Index. The five articles in this issue reflect, once again, a variety ofintellectually stimulating subjects. In Gordon Tolle's paper, Leo Strauss's rejection ofNietzsche is persuasively argued, and his position is effectively contrasted with SCholarship emphasizing the affinity of Strauss and Nietzsche. Tolle then indicates how an awareness of Strauss's rejection helps to clarify the concept of natural right and the differences between ancient and modern thought. The piece by Gerald De Maio and Douglas Muzzio demonstrates the contemporary relevance of the debates over representation which emerged at constitutional ratifying conventions early in American history. Such continuing relevance is shown by the authors as they link those early debates with political practices in American municipal government during three periods of recent history: at the turn of the century, in the 1960s-1980s, and in 1991. Two atticles in this issue speak to the role and influence ofvariau:) media outlets in both contributing to and limiting public awareness of important issues. Kathleen McQuaid's article, a case study ofthe growing perception of the dangers of asbestos in the United States, points to the role of the media in defining public Volume 5 - Commonwealth Journal.max policy issues for the public agenda and how media attention can wax and wane independent of how serious the problem actually is. A second paper on media influence, by Erika King and co-authors, is amodel for investigating press activity in the latest political campaign for governor of Pennsylvania. A content analysis of major Pennsylvania newspapers indicates the kinds ofissues the press deemed important and those the press chose to ignore or play down. The author~' finilings are related to the role of the press in gubernatorial campaigns, and the hypotheses they formulated may prove useful for studying campaigns

    r1 J FALL 1975 Published quarterly by the American Political Science Association Volume VIII Number 4 f Women Political Scientists Supporting Sam Beer We the undersigned urge women political scientists to vote for Sam Beer for President-Elect of the American Political Science Association. Our knowl- edge of his attitudes and past activities convinces us that as President of the Association he will work effectively and aggressively to enlarge the opportunities for women in the profession and in the Association. Women in the profession should note that Professor Beer has committed himself to provide: (1) more effective grievance procedures in implementing Association policy, including censure of departments when called for; (2) tighter liaison with department chairpersons encouraging professional study by women, including substantial expansion of Fellowship programs, and encouraging professional employment of women, including more part-time opportunities; (3) closer coordination of the Council and the relevant committees of the Association.
