U.S. Commission On Civil Rights.
Available online.
The University of Maryland Law School's Thurgood Marshall Library has been creating an online archive of USCCR reports, dating back to 1957. In many cases, these documents have been unavailable on the official USCCR site because of their age or because of their politically controversial nature. The latest additions to the Thurgood Marshall site include a 1962 report on public schools in the Southern states and a 1977 report on women and minorities in television.

From the journal Pediatrics. "Although increasing attention is being paid to racial/ethnic disparities in health and health care, very little of the attention is directed toward children...

This and other articles from Pediatrics will be available through our Periodical Finder.

Available online.
"There is an increased concern that polls conducted only on landline telephones may not accurately measure public opinion. A new Pew Research Center study finds that, while different demographically, Americans who mostly or exclusively rely on cell phones are not substantially different from the landline population in their basic political attitudes and preferences."
