Several species of animal are routinely housed in small, barren cages with little opportunity for extended or complex locomotion. Various resources could be provided to overcome this limitation, however, these differ in their practicality, cost and presumably in their suitability as perceived by the animal. This study examined the activity of 5 laboratory mice within three resources which provided the opportunity for extended or complex locomotion, namely, a 'locomotion-loop' (a 40 cm torus of plastic tunnel), a complex tunnel environment and a running-wheel. In addition, the perceived importance of these resources was determined by measuring the persistence of their use when the operant cost (switch pressing) of gaining access was increased. When the lowest cost of 1 press/visit was imposed, the mice used the three resources to different extents: the running-wheel was used for the greatest proportion of each 24 h (9.1%), the tunnel system was used for an intermediate amount of time (8.1%) and the loop was used the least (0.3%) (all differences were significant). At the lowest cost the running-wheel was visited 13.7 times each 24 h, the tunnels 14.6 times and the loop only 4.7 times. Over the 15-day duration of the study, the mice reduced the frequency of visits and activity in the loop and tunnel system, but not the running-wheel, i.e. the mice habituated to the loop and tunnels, but not the running-wheel. When the cost of access was increased, the frequency of visits decreased for all three resources. However, activity within visits increased and the duration of visits remained constant for the running-wheel, whereas both decreased for the loop or remained constant for the tunnel system. Therefore, as the costs increased within the range studied here, the mice defended the proportion of 24 h in the running-wheel to a greater extent than time in the tunnel system or the loop. Of the 3 resources, use of the running-wheel was least affected by increasing the cost

When the San Jose Mercury News ran a controversial series of stories in 1996 on the relationship between the CIA, the Contras, and crack, they reignited the issue of the intelligence agency's connections to drug trafficking, initially brought to light during the Vietnam War and then again by the Iran-Contra affair. Broad in scope and extensively documented, Cocaine Politics shows that under the cover of national security and covert operations, the U.S. government has repeatedly collaborated with and protected major international drug traffickers. A new preface discusses developments of the last six years, including the Mercury News stories and the public reaction they provoked.

The "honorable men" who ruled the Old South had a language all their own, one comprised of many apparently outlandish features yet revealing much about the lives of masters and the nature of slavery. When we examine Jefferson Davis's explanation as to why he was wearing women's clothing when caught by Union soldiers, or when we consider the story of Virginian statesman John Randolph, who stood on his doorstep declaring to an unwanted dinner guest that he was "not at home," we see that conveying empirical truths was not the goal of their speech. Kenneth Greenberg so skillfully demonstrates, the language of honor embraced a complex system of phrases, gestures, and behaviors that centered on deep-rooted values: asserting authority and maintaining respect. How these values were encoded in such acts as nose-pulling, outright lying, dueling, and gift-giving is a matter that Greenberg takes up in a fascinating and original way. The author looks at a range of situations when the words and gestures of honor came into play, and he re-creates the contexts and associations that once made them comprehensible. We understand, for example, the insult a navy lieutenant leveled at President Andrew Jackson when he pulls his nose, once we understand how a gentleman valued his face, especially his nose, as the symbol of his public image. Greenberg probes the lieutenant's motivations by explaining what it meant to perceive oneself as dishonored and how such a perception seemed comparable to being treated as a slave. When John Randolph lavished gifts on his friends and enemies as he calmly faced the prospect of death in a duel with Secretary of State Henry Clay, his generosity had a paternalistic meaning echoed by the master-slave relationship and reflected in the pro-slavery argument. These acts, together with the way a gentleman chose to lend money, drink with strangers, go hunting, and die, all formed a language of control, a vision of what it meant to live as a courageous free man. In reconstructing the language of honor in the Old South, Greenberg reconstructs the world.
