HAIG BOSMAJIAN, who examines recent court decisions on freedom of speech, received his Ph. D. from Stanford and teaches speech at The University of Washington. Among his many publications are three books on freedom of speech.

JAMES O. ROBERTSON, who traces the rise of the employee to the status of mythic hero, received his Ph. D. from Harvard and teaches history at The University of Connecticut.

MICHAEL VAUGHAN WOODWARD, who looks at the kind of southern history exemplified by the writings of E. M. Coulter, teaches history at The University of Georgia. His paper was originally presented to the Citadel Conference on the New South in 1978.
