Quotations of over four lines should be indented. Do not include running heads of author(s)' name(s). Title page: Please provide a title for the paper that is limited to two lines, 33 letters and spaces per line. Author(s), institutional affiliation(s), current mailing addresses, and phone numbers should appear with the title on one copy of the cover page. Place acknowledgments at the bottom of this page. Abstract: On page 1 of all four copies of the manuscript, include just the title (no authors) and an abstract of less than 100 words. Notes: These should be endnotes, restricted to substantive parenthetical statements, numbered consecutively, and placed on a separate sheet(s) at the end of the paper. Tables should be on separate pages, numbering them consecutively in Arabic numerals. Table notes include the source first, then significance levels given by asterisks, then table notes indicated by lowercase superscripts-a, b, etc. Variable names: Use English words for variable names whenever possible (e.g., Percentage Union rather than PCTUN), making variable names as descriptive as possible. Use initial capitalization (no italics or bold) of all words in names of variables in the text and in tables. Figures should appear on separate pages in camera-ready form. References: In the body of the text, place references in parentheses, giving the author's last name and date of publication (using a, b, etc., if more than one work is cited for a given year). Include page numbers in the text only when quoting material. An alphabetical list of cited references should appear at the end of the manuscript; be sure to include volume number, month, and pages for journal articles and inclusive pages for articles in books.
