An earlier analysis of manganese oxides in various charge states indicated that free-atom term values and universal coupling gave a reasonable account of the cohesion. This approach is here extended to LaxSr(1-x)MnO3 in a perovskite structure, and a wide range of properties, with comparable success, including the cohesion, as a function of x. Magnetic and electronic properties are treated in terms of the same parameters and the cluster orbitals used for cohesion. This includes an estimate of the Neel and Curie-Weiss temperatures for SrMnO3, an antiferromagnetic insulator, and the magnitude of a Jahn-Teller distortion in LaMnO3 which makes it also insulating with (100) ferromagnetic planes (due to a novel double-exchange for the distorted state), antiferromagnetically stacked, as observed. We estimate the Neel temperature and its volume dependence, and the ferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature which applies between the Neel and Jahn-Teller temperatures. We expect hopping conductivity when there is doping (0
