The behavior of 18 pulsars as observed at 430 MHz are considered. The results following statistical analysis are presented as longitude-resolved probability of occurrence histograms at a series of pulse longitudes, with the signal being characterized by its total intensity, fractional linear polarization and angle, and fractional circular polarization. The central role of the polarization modes is revealed in statistical summary displays: two modes are active at one longitude or another in virtually every object, and their vacillating dominance with longitude seriously disrupts the average angle behavior in about half the cases.
