Field Setting

The major purposes of this study were to investigate whether devaluation of obese persons, a phenomenon demonstrated exclusively in laboratory settings using reactive measures, generalizes to a nonreactive field setting. Seventy public health administrators were asked, via the mail, to help a college junior assess her chances of getting into graduate school and finding employment in this field. Subjects received a cover letter, a standard résumé∼, and a questionnaire. A picture of the student was affixed to some of the résumés. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three picture conditions: obese, normal, or no picture. Forty-six percent of the questionnaires were returned. Significantly fewer forms were returned in the obese condition than in the normal and no picture conditions. On both the graduate school and employment questionnaire items, forecasts were considerably more pessimistic than in the other two picture conditions. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Post War

The elimination of Franz Kutschera by the soldiers of the 1st platoon of the „Pegasus” company (later the „Parasol” battalion) is one of the most famous military actions of the Polish underground. Until the 1990s, the post-war narrative about the events of February 1, 1944 was based on the accounts of those participants of the operation who survived the war and on a brief report sent by the commander of „Pegasus” to Colonel „Nil”, and it was consolidated by P. Stachiewicz’s book „Parasol”. The documents published in 1993 and 2016 – the report of the deputy commander of the „Kutschera” operation and the cover letter of the commander of „Pegasus” attached to it – questioned this narrative. The article traced the development of the story about the operation against the „executioner of Warsaw”, indicating that the commander accepted this version which contained the most discrep
