The young (under 35) tend to oppose use of nuclear weapons in the context of a Soviet-supported Cuban threat to Mexico by 43% to 40%, while their elders generally favor it by slightly more than the same margin.

The whole thing smacks remarkably of the kind of spheres of influence which Germany and the Soviets defined...
Shana is not quite sure what McCall's needs. After a succession of male editors and a dip in advertising pages, McCall's management was apparently in agreement when she told them: "I thought the trouble with women's magazines is that they have been underestimating women all these years, and I wasn't even sure that I believed in the idea of a women's magazine. I said I thought there should just be good magazines, period. Maybe I'm kind of a latter-day feminist, but I think that women can take...
