FROM THE EDITOR














   - HIS   IS THE   FIRST   ISSUE  OF   POLITICAL THEORY's
 seventh volume, and we are pleased that it seems to cover such a broad
 range of topics and methodologies. Our next issue will begin with a
 mini-symposium on the thought of Jean-Paul Sartre but we otherwise
 do not plan further symposia for this volume and hope, as a conse-
 quence, to be able to somewhat reduce a growing backlog.
   We  would also like to congratulate Brian Barry of the University
 of Chicago on his appointment as Editor of Ethics-a  bittersweet
 event for us, because it means we will no longer be able to rely on the
 careful and penetrating judgment of one of the most active members
 of our editorial executive committee. Professor Barry will continue on
 our editorial board, but will actually be lending his main energies
 to Ethics-their gain, our loss.
   Because of changes in personnel and procedures at Sage Publica-
tions, an unusual number of errors appeared in the November 1978
issue. We regret any inconvenience or embarrassment caused for our
editors, contributors, and readers.
  We  note with sadness the passing of Harold D. Lasswell, a distin-
guished member  of our  editorial board who lent his international
credentials as one of the century's foremost social scientists to Political
Theory in the earliest days of its inception.
