Other critics assail McDonald's for blighting the land architecturally (under pressure from zoning authorities, the chain is rapidly switching from its original garish, candy-striped restaurant design to a more subdued brown brick configuration) and for allegedly sabotaging American nutrition. Harvard Nutritionist Jean Mayer warns that a steady diet of McDonald's fare and nothing else could give a customer scurvy because it would lack sufficient vitamin C. Mayer also says that the menu provides large amounts of fats and calories (557 for a Big Mac, 317 for a chocolate shake, 215 for a small order...
...election cause, although little was done to give the party a broader, more lasting base. The President must successfully isolate McGovern from the mainstream of the challenger's own party (which McGovern has already done to a great extent himself). Nixon also must resist the temptation to assail his opponent emotionally rather than logically. If he can do those things, it is very likely that he will win "four more years."

"I see people going down to the welfare office with new automobiles and here's me driving a six-year-old car," protests Seminole County Deputy Sheriff William Chandler. "To me," adds St. Petersburg Motel Operator Robert Van Auker, "welfare is the most stinking thing there...
...danger is that an honest search for the facts may be derailed by ideological passion. The left has seized the occasion to romanticize the "political" prisoners who led their fellow inmates to the slaughter; the right has taken the opportunity to assail the left. Spiro Agnew, for instance, complained that the "radical liberals" and the news media have turned the event into "yet another cause celebre in the pantheon of radical revolutionary propaganda." If this becomes the tone of the investigation, there will be no lesson learned from Attica...
