Ways of knowing the health of livestock populations: the age of surveys, 1928-65
This article advances historical understandings of health, veterinary medicine and livestock agriculture by examining how, in mid-twentieth-century Britain, the diseases of livestock were made collectively knowable.

The Senator and the Sting Operation: Politics, the Media, and Frank Moss's Expos é of "Medicaid Mills"
This article looks at the political climate in which the congressional sting operation, the media attention it garnered, and the subsequent legislation enacted sought to address a persistent, growing problem of fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. The article argues that Moss's effort was an example of entrepreneurial politics, as defined by Craig Volden and Alan Wiseman in 2016, and something more as well. Moss was reacting to a political setting in which the legitimate authority of political institutions, including Congress, had been called into question by the Watergate scandal and other revelations.

"Bringing you the best": John Player & amp; Sons, Cricket, and the Politics of Tobacco Sport Sponsorship in Britain, 1969-1986

The league was enormously popular and gained significant broadcast coverage, becoming an invaluable means of increasing public exposure for the company, in the context of the ban of cigarette advertising from British television. At a time when the link between smoking and disease ...
