The hypotheses that the political ambitions of women more than of men, & of Democrats more than of Republicans, are related to socialization experiences is supported for the Democratic & Republican women but not for the men, based on questionnaire survey data from local party officials (total N = 228 Rs). Patterns of socialization are found to vary by party & sex, although all activists are influenced by socialization across the life cycle; & all the ambitious are in earlier stages of the life cycle than the unambitious. The concept of countersocialization is introduced to explain the development of ambitious political women. Countersocialization & politicization around gender-related issues in politics are not expected to restructure political conflict along a sex-based cleavage of the political elite. Rather, the political party context will determine which ambitious women & men gain office & carry their concerns into the decision-making arenas. 2 Tables, 2 Appendixes. Modified HA

This descriptive study is based on telephone interviews with 56 people who had obtained a Wide Angle Mobility Light (WAML). Respondents were queried about usage, applications, malfunctions, strengths, and limitations of the aid. The results indicated that the device enabled users to function visually in situations where they normally could not and that training requirements were minimal. Frequency of use and changes in travel patterns and satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the WAML's physical characteristics are described.

Sixteen student pilots performed a task combination designed to measure residual attention. Scores on this combination were correlated with performances on flight checks administered periodically during flight training. The multiple correlation between performances on the flight checks and the task combination increased as the students progressed through flight training. The usefulness of residual attention as a predictor of pilot performance is discussed.
