To investigate whether adolescents are politicized, questionnaires were given to 81 schoolchildren aged 13-18 in Paris & Nanterre, France. It appears that in spite of the efforts of parents & institutions, who do not wish to provide political education, the children do have political opinions, necessarily formed by watching TV & listening to the radio. It was found that the less the child knew about politics, the more he tended to express traditional ideas, while those who had a little more background were curious to know more & go farther. 2 Tables, 2 Photographs, 10 References.

The aim of this chapter is to flesh out our knowledge of some aspects of Arias Montano's sojourn in the Netherlands on the basis of primary documents, above all previously unpublished private correspondence. I will pay special attention to his role in the Flemish conflict, his participation in the controversies over Biblical Scholarship, and his relationships with the leading political, ecclesiastical, intellectual and economic circles of his age.

This essay proposes that the subject of the lost play Vayvode, performed by the Admiral's Men in 1598, may have been John Hunyadi, a fifteenth-century Hungarian military commander celebrated as a bulwark of Christian Europe against the Ottoman threat. It considers which historical sources would have been available to the playwright, the popularity of Hunyadi in the sixteenth century, and the theatrical contexts of the 1590s, as well as some alternative possibilities for the hero of the Admiral's play.

The general opinion among English and American political writers is that the French system of cabinet government is very nearly a régime of "parliamentary anarchy." In recent years it has also been the object of severe attack by many French scholars, notably by Professors Duguit, Moreau, Barthélemy and Faguet, and by public men like Charles Benoist, Raymond Poincaré and others, who assert that while the cabinet system has been established by law, it does not exist in fact, but in its place is to be found a poor imitation of the true cabinet sytem of England, upon which that of France was supposed to have been modeled.One undoubted reason why cabinet government in France has not worked smoothly is to be found in the fact that it is not an indigenous institution. It was transplanted from the country of its origin where it had taken deep root and had developed to a high state of efficiency through a long process of evolution, and was suddenly introduced into one where the historical traditions, political habits and mental aptitudes of the people were very unlike those of the English.
