2 Notations in parentheses refer to the publication—“1970” is the original Rand report and “1971” is the edition from Princeton University Press. Page citations follow the date. In most cases here, I will only cite the 1971 book even though the earlier study usually has the same information.
3 Since this review was written three months prior to the September 1972 declaration of martial law in the Philippines, my assessment of the authors1 work has not been influenced by the recent events. The growing unrest does demonstrate even more clearly, however, how far of! base the authors were.
* Pegasus stands for Philippine rthnic group attitude surveys.
** IDLRS stands for International Data Library and Reference Service.
4 In their 1970 publication, the authors arc even more explicit on this point. Based on survey and electoral data, they conclude, “…contrary to popular belief, the poor were not discontented.” (1970: 104.)
