...release had been a long, peculiar and occasionally bungled process. It began on Aug. 30, when longtime Antiwar Activist Cora Weiss received a transatlantic call from a member of the North Vietnamese delegation to the Paris peace talks. Almost three weeks later, Hanoi released Gartley, who was shot down, Aug. 17, 1968, Air Force Major Edward Elias, a prisoner since April 20, 1972, and Navy Lieut, (j.g.) Norris Charles, a captive since Dec. 30, 1971. All three were placed in the custody of Mrs. Weiss and Antiwar Activists David Dellinger, Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr. and Princeton International...
...points behind, and a Democratic-sponsored poll by Pat Caddell, showing only a 22-point deficit. Except in the case of Sindlinger, whose polling techniques did not screen out probable nonvoters, the apparent discrepancies seem to be largely a matter of timing. Taken over a period of 21 weeks (Aug. 25-Sept. 12), the Yankelovich study, for example, showed a slight upswing for McGovern in its last week. The most recent Gallup and Harris polls, conducted in late September, confirmed that some pro-McGovern shift in sentiment was taking place...
AFTER a month of false starts and wheel spinning, the McGovern campaign bandwagon is definitely on the move-backward. A new TIME poll conducted by Daniel Yankelovich Inc. between Aug. 25 and Sept. 12 shows that McGovern's campaign is having a negative effect: in several states where he has stumped the hardest, he has lost ground; and the issues he has emphasized the most are those that are now hurting him more than ever. The poll finds that Nixon leads McGovern by an astonishing 39 points...
Politically, that silence makes sense. As President, Nixon has a program in being-one that has made notable progress during the past year toward repairing the damage that his economic performance once did to his standing with the voters. On Aug. 15, 1971, Nixon abruptly reversed the policies that he followed in his first 2½ years in the White House; as a result, he has slowed inflation and produced a remarkable spurt in national output. Gross national product in 1973 seems likely to show a rise topping even this year's biggest-ever gain (see box on next...
...Panel agree, though so far their choices seem based more on perception of the candidates than of the issues. The 312 panelists were randomly chosen from those participating in an earlier, scientifically selected sampling of 2,320 voters in 16 key electoral states; they were interviewed by telephone from Aug. 25 through Sept. 7 by Daniel Yankelovich Inc. By 2 to 1 they prefer the President over McGovern, expressing their preferences with unusual vigor for so early in a presidential campaign...
