The purpose is to argue for a hyp of cultural lead--that signif coping mechanisms are enacted, in response to societal technical & soc changes, by some situationally sensitive individuals or groups in advance of the impact of the changes upon the general pop. Those coping mechanisms are illustrative of the kinds which will, can or should be adopted by the general pop in order to accommodate the changes. It is further argued that the coping mechanisms of individuals who are members of so-called sub-cultures include important examples of cultural lead. The hyp of cultural lead is demonstrated by: (1) describing the stressful marginality & impermanence producing conditions of accelerated soc change predicted for future complex societies; (2) analytically comparing those predictions with the stressful marginality & impermanence producing conditions reported presently to be associated with the culture of poverty & the counter-culture; (3) describing the soc innovations & psychol'al adaptations predicted to be enacted by members of future complex societies in response to marginality & impermanence; (4) analytically comparing those predictions with the soc innovations & psychol'al adaptations reported to be enacted presently by the poor & the hip in response to marginality & impermanence; (5) outlining the similarities of experienced marginality, impermanence & related coping mechanisms among the poor, the hip & members of future complex societies; (6) concluding that the soc innovations & psychol'al adaptations of the poor & the hip are examples of cultural lead. Theoretical & planning implications of the hyp of cultural lead are discussed, & suggestions are made for further analysis & res. AA.

In the last ten years, feminists in and out of the universities have developed a power‐ful critique of pornography as "the ideology of rape" and the "ideological justifica‐tion for male dominance". This article is a sociological analysis of the feminist social movement which has grown up around the issues of male violence and male culture.

A self-reporting questionnaire dealing with satisfaction with active duty, naval reserves, active duty for training, & civilian occupations was administered to 967 reserve naval officers & to 2,287 reserve naval enlisted men. Reserve officers had reported greater satisfaction than reserve enlisted men with every aspect of active duty. Comradeship & responsibility were rated high by both, & supervisors & pay were rated low; officers rated authority high & facilities low, & enlisted rated sea duty low. Officers also show greater satisfaction than elisted with every aspect of the naval reserves. This is also true for active duty, training, & civilian occupations. Overall, both groups were most satisfied with civilian occupations. Ratings of specific aspects of the reserve offer clues as to how the reserve duty program could be improved. 4 Tables. W. H.
