Abstract
This paper addresses a long-disputed issue: the degree of integration among political elites in the United States. This issue is examined through an investigation of the structure of an elite interaction network as revealed by recently developed procedures for network analysis. The data, taken from the American Leadership Study conducted by the Bureau of Applied Social Research in 1971 and 1972, consist of interviews with 545 leaders of major political, economic and social institutions. The study's wide institutional representation, sociometric data, and focus on major issues of the early 1970s make it virtually unique for examining elite integration.
