...justice became lost in a tangle of doubts about McGovern himself. First he proposed a $1,000-a-year guarantee for every American, only to revise the suggestion later. Then came the Eagleton affair. McGovern never could shake the charge, however unfair, that he was the candidate of "amnesty, acid and abortion." He was, too many voters believed, an indecisive radical ? the worst kind...
...unquestionably important to health. A lack of vitamin A, contained in green, leafy vegetables and whole milk, can cause night blindness. Shortages of the various B vitamins, contained in milk, meat and some grains, produce such deficiency diseases as pellagra and beriberi. A deficiency of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, a substance found in citrus fruits and some fresh vegetables, can result in scurvy. Rickets, a disease caused by calcium deficiency that produces bone deformities, can result from a lack of vitamin...

They can be "petillant" (slightly sparkling or effervescent), "thin" (deficient in alcohol or body, watery), or "woody" (with...
...course and vindicated by the thumping first-ballot victory in Miami Beach. Yet trouble had begun as early as the Nebraska primary, Issues Director Ted Van Dyk says now, when McGovern's Democratic opponents "went after him on the triple-A issues" ?abortion, amnesty and acid. McGovern was soon trying to disengage himself. Even his defense programs were "clarified." Then in the California debates with Hubert Humphrey, McGovern was forced to admit that he did not know exactly what his ill-starred $1,000-grant-to-every-citizen would cost. When he later came up with a more cogent...
