...Sally Peil, 22, is a West Georgia College senior who went to Miami Beach as a delegate. Like her merchant parents, Sally was an ardent Nixon supporter four years ago. "The other day," she says, "I told my mother I've never been so disappointed with anything in my life as Nixon. She almost cried. She thinks I'm turning into a Communist." Since she became a politician, she says, "I'm watching every news program on TV, reading the papers every day." One problem after her election, Sally notes, is that...
...city of light becoming the city of blight? Not really. The ardent reaction is partly due to the fact that Paris remained virtually unchanged for half a century. Unlike Berlin or London, it escaped bombing during World War II and did not have to be rebuilt.

Though outlandish, the projection suggests something of the difficulty that McGovern faces in promulgating his social policies: how to allay the fears of one group while sustaining the hopes of the other. When he first declared his candidacy 17 months ago, Dark Horse McGovern could afford an image of permissiveness to solidify the allegiance of his youthful followers. Now, as the surprise Democratic front runner who needs to broaden his constituency, the proponent of "straight talk...
...most striking change was that shown by South Korea, long among the most ardent of cold warriors. President Chung Hee Park declared that members should transcend differences in ideology "in order to spread the sunshine of peace throughout the region." Whether all the flowery rhetoric will be enough to give ASPAC a viable future, however, remains to be seen...
