- Abstract
Fifteen newspaper articles about popular culture in the United States are contained in this document. As the basis for a 15-week course by newspaper during the winter and spring of 1978, the articles served as the course "lectures." The articles were written by professors of mass communications, sociology, cinema, journalism, political science, and history; a newspaper columnist; a sports commentator; and a feminist author. They explore the nature of popular culture, popular culture as big business, and major themes that recur in such American institutions as the Hollywood "dream factory," music, sports, and politics. The role of popular culture in political and social change is also explored. Its influence on Americans' choices of life style and leisure pursuits is examined. Each article is preceded by a biographical statement about the author. (Author/AV)

- Abstract
Fifteen newspaper articles about crime and justice in America are contained in this document. As the basis for a 15-week course by newspaper during the fall of 1977, the articles served as the course "lectures." The articles were written by professors of law, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and criminology; attorneys and judges; and researchers. They explore crime in America and consider its causes, theories of prevention, and the institutional means employed to combat it, including police, courts, and corrections. The relationship between sex, race, and crime is examined, as well as historical and future perspectives on criminal punishment. White-collar crime, organized crime, and urban crime are defined.

- Abstract
One of several supplementary materials for a newspaper course on moral choices in contemporary society, this sourcebook contains program ideas and resources to help civic leaders and educators plan programs based on the course topics. There are four sections. The first section explains how the topics can be used in planning programs, identifies related materials, and defines the format of newspaper courses. Section two presents ideas for background reading, questions for discussion, and program suggestions for each of the 16 course content areas. For example, program ideas about ethics of biomedical research include speakers representing right-to-die legislation and films exploring the moral questions of scientific research on live subjects. In section three, 37 organizations to contact for speakers and information are listed according to content area. An annotated filmography of over 100 films comprises section four. Arranged by content areas, the entries give information on title, length, date, color, producer, distributor, and a detailed annotation. Annotations mention appropriate audiences and whether the films contrast issues in contemporary and historical perspectives. Films range from fictional stories (Lord of the Flies) to personal rap sessions (Women Who Have Had An Abortion.) (AV)

California Univ., San Diego. Univ. Extension., Marcolongo, Francis J., Marcolongo, Francis J., and California Univ., San Diego. Univ. Extension.
- Abstract
The study guide for a newspaper course on moral choices in contemporary society provides overviews, definitions, and review questions to accompany the reader and related articles. Designed for independent study, the guide helps students to understand central concepts, relate various readings to a central theme, and pursue additional reading on related subjects. Sixteen sections in the guide are arranged to correspond to the 16 subject areas in the reader. For each area, the guide presents an overview showing the interrelatedness of the readings; open-ended definitions of key concepts encountered in the readings; factual and essay questions to stimulate analytical thinking; and bibliographies for additional research. For example, in the section about the morality of business, key concepts are identified. These are capitalism, socialism, laissez-faire, corporation, consumer interest group, and corporate responsibility. One of the discussion questions challenges students to defend or criticize the contention that dishonesty is built into the American business system because of the nature of free enterprise capitalism.

8. Grammatical Transformations and Changes of Meaning. Linguistic Notes from La Jolla, No. 3.

California Univ., San Diego. Dept. of Linguistics., Kuroda, S.-Y, Kuroda, S.-Y, and California Univ., San Diego. Dept. of Linguistics.
- Abstract
A history of theories of transformational generative grammar is presented, and four theories are characterized as: Chomsky's initial theory, Chomsky's standard theory, the semantically-based theory, and finally Chomsky's nonstandard theory. The main issue appears to be the question of what determines sentence meaning. Specifically, it is stated that Chomsky's nonstandard theory is in opposition to McCawley's nonstandard theory and to Chomsky's standard theory, the major revision in Chomsky's nonstandard theory being the hypothesis that sentence meaning depends not only on the deep structure but also on the surface structure. Chomsky's nonstandard theory is examined in order to answer two questions: whether it admits a theory whereby it is possible to state whether or not transformations change meaning; and whether it admits that deep structures, but not intermediate structures, determine certain meanings. It is concluded that Chomsky's nonstandard theory is not clear on these two questions. A nonstandard theory is then proposed which differs from Chomsky's in that it attempts to explain how semantic representations of sentences are determined and how Pi and Pn participate in their determination. It is concluded that the greater accuracy of one theory or the other can only be determined after further descriptive study within the framework of both theories. (AM)

- Abstract
This reader, which contains 135 primary source readings about morality, is one of several college-level instructional materials developed to supplement a nationwide newspaper course on moral issues in contemporary society. The authors represent a diverse group including theologians, psychologists, politicians, professional athletes, lawyers, and educators. The moral issues are explored from all viewpoints. They cut across differences in social class, level of education, and ethnic origin. Content, presented in 16 chapters, includes issues of sexual morality, abortion, aging, international and domestic politics, law, crime, pornography, racism, science, business, and education. Some of the readings such as William Graham Sumner's "Respect or Contempt for the Aged" are scholarly essays; others such as Linda Wolfe's "Playing Around" are personal statements of life experiences. Because the content focuses on contemporary moral issues, the majority of the readings are contemporary. Some, such as Max Weber's "Science and Politics," are classics with universal relevance. (AV)
