In the years between 1848 and 1851 South Carolina experienced a radicalization in its politics. This article attempts to show how the militia played an integral part in this process, in that it provided both internal security and a political forum. The discussion will show that while the military capability of the militia may have decreased, its symbolic value remained important. The article asserts that the mandatory militia gatherings that were held with regularity throughout the state provided an inherent political platform for South Carolina's leadership. The ability to reach the greater part of the state's electorate allowed for the propagation of the secessionist message.

AbstractRobert Keller's "Distributed Computation by Graph Reduction" promotes the use of distributed graph reduction to implement functional languages on highly parallel computers. In examining the potential for parallelism in FEL, however, the paper appeals to terminology and ideas associated with: Graph reduction theory, lambda calculus, distributed processing, computer architecture, and parallel machine organization. The suggested tie between functional paradigms and parallel machine organizations is sometimes obscured by the density of italicized terms and concepts. Those "only familiar with Fortran‐like languages" may find it challenging reading indeed.
