March to Calumny, by Albert Biderman. Examining the behavior of captured G.I.s in Korea, a sociologist corrects the widespread impression that they were more easily brainwashed than other troops...
Biderman, a sociologist, was retained by the Air Force some ten years back to assess experiences of its 235 returned Korean war prisoners, including those who had confessed to bacteriological warfare. Biderman's findings greatly influenced the Air Force prisoner stand, then in direct opposition to the Army's.

Guerard after 23 years at Harvard. When the faculty...

Says Sociologist Mayer: "The same polarization of the races has taken place in every major Northern industrial city except New York, where the anti-discrimination laws are rigidly enforced, and where most people live in rented apartments and don't mind if the building is integrated because they have no economic investment at stake...
