Abstract
Who are the foreign policy opinion makers in small towns and rural areas in the Midwest? Are they the town bankers or weekly and small daily newspaper editors? Or are they the familiar denizens of the power structure which C. Wright Mills and Floyd Hunter identified-big corporation farmers and grain elevator owners?' The findings of this study indicate that the foreign policy opinion maker is likely to be a political science professor in a small liberal arts college. He is over forty, an avid newspaper reader, holds a Ph.D. degree or an all but, and has an annual income of over $10,000. He has occupied the same position for more than ten years, is a Protestant and a Democrat. More important for our purposes, he is an activist. He corresponds with Congressmen, belongs to organizations which take stands on foreign policy issues
