One Day on the River Red One Day on the River Red is an innovative and rather unusual work of fiction by Timothy J. Kloberdanz. The book is a novella and is only about 136 pages in length. Nonetheless, the book deals with a surprising variety of characters, plot twists, themes, and topics. The novella opens with a widower who stands on the banks of the Red River of the North. The old man contemplates the mysteries of life and death. His name is Raymond O. Knutson and he lives in Fargo, North Dakota. The old man does not realize it, but he is about to experience the most extraordinary day of his entire life. Raymond soon encounters a mysterious young woman with long red hair and startling green eyes. They meet on the banks of the Red River. She calls him "Raymondo." He is fascinated by her exotic appearance and unusual behavior. But the old man is soon beset by questions: Where did the mysterious young woman come from? Is she too good to be true? Is she a figment of his imagination? Is she human? Or is she perhaps, a being from another world? Raymond and the mysterious young woman soon embark on a one-day journey that gives them many insights into each other's inner character and personal past. Indeed, the entire story takes place within the span of a single autumn day. And while most of the attention centers on the Red River, other locations are integral parts of the story: Fargo, Bismarck, and Wahpeton, North Dakota; as well as the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation in North and South Dakota. There are also references to Moorhead, Minnesota, and Winnipeg, Canada. The author explains that the reason the historic Red River of the North is referred to as "the River Red" in the book's title is addressed in the opening chapter. "Sometimes," Kloberdanz explains, "a slight difference in the arrangement of a couple of words signals a big change in the way we see something. This is intentional. One needs to remember that my story is fiction. So there is a fair amount of embellishment and even fantasy in my rendering of 'the River Red.' After all, it is a river with many faces and many moods. And so I try to capture some of that." One Day on the River Red is the first in a series of fictional books Kloberdanz is writing about the "Legendary Rivers of the American West." He also is working on novels about the Platte River of Nebraska, the great Mississippi, and the Missouri River. Potential readers of One Day on the River Red include fiction lovers, regional enthusiasts, dreamers, idealists, educators, and individuals who appreciate the intricacies of Nature, fantasy, mystery, romance, and the supernatural. Published authors who have read and offered comments about this book include the following: "Imagine the familiar voice of an old friend sharing an amazing fable. . . . But maybe it isn't a fable after all. A marvelous dream, perhaps. One thing is certain: One Day on the River Red ends too soon." -Tony Bender, author of If Every Month Were June and The Last Ghost Dancer "A humorous, poignant, and quirky tale. . . . Richly described, the story celebrates the magic, mystery, and transformative power of folklore." -Troyd A. Geist, author of Faces of Identity, Hands of Skill and From the Wellspring "If you appreciate a good story, you'll love One Day on the River Red. Kloberdanz takes his readers on a most fascinating journey. . . . Be prepared " -Dr. Vernon Keel, author of the North Dakota crime novel The Murdered Family "A charming tale that eloquently weaves together the magical elements of a river with events from everyday reality-yielding untold surprises." -Dr. H. Elaine Lindgren, author of the widely acclaimed Land in Her Own Name

An often-forgotten passage of Philip Converse's classic essay on mass belief systems introduced the concept of an issue public – a segment of voters that has crystallized attitudes about a particular topic. Some people deeply care about particular topics, and they might be equipped to reach judgments on these topics. This simple idea could provide an important corrective to work that casts citizens' political competence in a negative light. But, previous attempts to evaluate the issue publics hypothesis have been unsatisfying. This Element proposes and tests a new measurement approach for identifying issue publics. The evidence gathered leads to the conclusion that issue publics exist, but are smaller and more particularistic than existing scholarship presumes them to be. As such, researchers underappreciate the significance of issue opinions in electoral politics.
