Common Cause was the outgrowth from the Urban Coalition Action Council. This organization suggested that they wanted to end the Vietnam War on a scheduled timetable. They also wanted to aid the ending of poverty and race discrimination. They were looking for new solutions in housing, employment, education, health, consumer protection, environment, family planning, law enforcement, and the administration of justice. The FBI did not investigate this group. When the mailing explaining their agenda was sent out to numerous individuals, they in turn, reported them to the FBI. These individuals were advised that the FBI is an investigative agency of the Federal Government, and as such, neither makes evaluations nor draws conclusions as to the character or integrity of any organization, publication, or individual.

Since its introduction by Hans Reichenbach, many philosophers have claimed to refute the idea - known as the common cause principle - that any surprising correlation between any two factors that do not directly influence one another is due to some common cause. For example, falsity of the principle is frequently inferred from falsifiability of Bell's inequalities. The author demonstrates, however, that the situation is not so straightforward. There is more than one version of the principle formulated with the use of different variants of Reichenbach-inspired notions; their falsity still remains an open question. The book traces different formulations of the principle and provides proofs of a few pertinent theorems, settling the relevant questions in various probability spaces. In exploring mathematical and philosophical issues surrounding the principle, the book offers both philosophical insight and mathematical rigor.

This major work on Texas politics explores the complicated relations between the politically disorganized Texas blue-collar class and the "rich and the fabulously rich," whose interests have been protected by "brilliant practitioners of horse trading, guile, the jovial but serious threat, the offer that can't be refused."
