Describes the results of a national experiment designed to study factors that influence reenlistment decisions of Army Reserve and National Guard personnel. Some 15,300 reservists making reenlistment decisions in 1978 participated in the experiment. The effect of bonuses given for three-year terms ($900) or six-year terms ($1,800) on reenlistment rates and length of commitment was estimated by comparing the responses of the group offered the bonus with those of a matching control group. While the bonus raised reenlistment rates only from 38.4 to 40.6 percent, it lengthened the average committed term of service from 1.3 to 4.4 years. Longitudinal tracking of test participants indicates that a significant strength gain will result from the longer term of service commitments. Two years after the test began, 37.3 percent of the original bonus group remained in service, while only 30.4 percent of the control group remained.

On connaît bien Machiavel pour ses écrits politiques et historiques, le grand Machiavel du Prince, des Discours, de l'Art de la guerre et de l'Histoire de Florence. On le connaît beaucoup moins pour ses écrits littéraires. La comédie La Mandragore fait certes partie du répertoire classique des chefs-d'œuvre du théâtre italien, mais ses autres écrits sont souvent ignorés. Ils offrent pourtant une continuité d'inspiration et de formes expressives qui complète et confirme le portrait du Machiavel que l'on connaît le mieux. Certains se présentent comme des compléments de l'œuvre majeure ou des ébauches, tels les portraits, ou les pensées, ou bien l'essai de traduction sur les persécutions d'Afrique, ou encore la biographie d'un grand condottiere. D'autres manifestent une vocation au comique et à la comédie, comme la nouvelle de l'archidiable Belphégor venu sur terre expérimenter la vie conjugale, ou les désopilants statuts pour une imaginaire société de plaisirs. Mais tous sont caractérisés par le regard lucide sur les hommes, et l'amour de la patrie.

"In Piccolo's poems we meet a Sicily latent in the country of the tourist guides and the history books, but it was Piccolo far more than, say, his cousin Lampedusa, who was destined to draw out the latencies, read the signatures, crack the code....These brilliant translations will serve to introduce a whole new sensibility to Anglo-American readers."-Anthony Burgess "Faithfulness, a loving adherence, a communion with and an entering into the spirit of the original are what we look for in a translation. We find these qualities abundantly in this rendering of Lucio Piccolo's poetry by Brian Swarm and Ruth Feldman. And we find yet more: a welcome clarification, for though Piccolo's poetry-one that tries to capture in a subtle web the atmosphere of a bygone world-is not obscure or oblique, yet, like all significant poetry, it is here and there open to a number of interpretations. Swann's and Feldman's translation, or interpretation, seems to me always felicitous and intelligent."-Arturo VivanteOriginally published in 1973.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
