Book Reviews
Full text linkThe recent death of Earl Warren reminds us, rather sadly, that the great Chief Justice and his Court have been subjected to withering and sometimes vicious and unfair criticism from within the academic circle.\u27 The heart of the criticism (most charitably put) has been that the Warren Court hastily, simplistically, and even unnecessarily attempted to elevate egalitarianism into a high,perhaps the highest, social value and standard for constitutional and governmental decision making. We like to think that we believe in a democracy free for all-that is the way we portray ourselves propagandistically to the rest of the world-but the truth is that most Americans would stop short of an attempt at the agonizingly difficult task of implementing egalitarianism in our land. How many times have I heard my friends, colleagues, and family conclude (sometimes openly, sometimes by inescapable inference) that a real democracy was something they neither wanted nor believed in. Thus the Warren Court critics accurately assess the inability and unwillingness of most of the country to accept its rulings.

Perceptions of Leadership Behaviors by Female Principals in North Caroline
Full text linkThis study was designed to investigate whether significant differences exist among the perceptions of leadership behaviors of female principals in North Carolina using Bolman and Deal\u27s (1984) four frames (structural, human re- source, political, and symbolic) for analysis. Participants consisted of 1,245 fe- male principals from elementary, middle, and secondary public schools in North Carolina. The researchers collected 525 responses for a 53% response rate. Overall, female principals in North Carolina perceive that they use multiple frame perspectives in their leadership behaviors. Furthermore, results indicate that age, parental status, and years in current position made a difference in the number and type of frames female principals use
