QUESTION: Anti-Nazi 'Swing Youth'

question / pregunta: 

Hello!

I am looking for a certain article about youth subculture in nazi Germany. I have stumbled across this site while looking for it as somebody had already requested it here.

This is it:
Beck, Earl. "The Anti-Nazi 'Swing Youth,' 1942-45." Journal of Popular Culture 19, no. 3 (1985): 45-53

My university library does offer on-line access to this publication, but I can't seem to be able to get my proquest password to work. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me the article.

Best regards

QUESTION: where to find prison populations in 1970, 1971, 1972, or 1973

question / pregunta: 

Where would I find statistics for the state and federal prison populations (both total and broken down by gender)for 1970, 1971, 1972 or 1973? I checked the Bureau of Justice Statistics site, but its reports only go back to 1977.

Library of Congress Subject Heading Blog-a-Thon: Response from LC

Here is a response from Anthony R.D. Franks Team Leader, Cooperative Cataloging Team Library of Congress, published with his permission (links added and typos fixed):

Thank you for your recent e-mail about the Blog-a-Thon. It will be interesting to see what your group comes up with next time. To facilitate matters, please let me know ahead of time. As we usually identify proposals by institution and not by group, it's always a good idea to include a note in the 952 field--perhaps "Blogathon returns!"

QUESTION: mass clemencies for women incarcerated for killing their abusers?

question / pregunta: 

In 1990, Ohio governor Celeste granted clemency to 28 women who had been convicted and incarcerated for killing their abusers. As of 1996, this was the largest number of women granted clemency at one time. Where would I look to verify whether this is still the case or if other mass clemencies (for women) have occurred since then?

QUESTION: american law specifying that a man can beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb?

question / pregunta: 

Several articles about legal cases and the changes in laws regarding domestic violence state that less than a century ago, American law (based on English common law) specified that a man was permitted to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Where would I find this law and when was this law officially changed?

QUESTION: freedom of expression

question / pregunta: 

I am looking for information on freedom of expression projects in developing countries. I want to get a sense of what different regions are doing, issues they face, who is doing the organizing. I am also interested in any FoE movements involving the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and what is going on in Iran and Pakistan.

Thank you.
