...broadest terms, White House strategists and leaders of both parties in Congress view the voter message as being aimed primarily at the nation's economic mess. The voters are seen as less interested in blaming anyone than in having something done about the situation. They want unemployment alleviated, the recession ended, the huge deficits curtailed-and they want this done without refueling inflation. That is a tall order, of course, but far from a controversial one. All politicians applaud those goals; the problem is how to reach them...
...authority as an instructor to emphasize the sexuality of the student. The unwitting student thus becomes a sexual being with no individual identity beyond her his gender. Sexual harassment is more than a personal issue between the harasser and victim; it becomes sex discrimination on the broadest scale. When a man harasses one woman, he is threatening all women...
Pollsters have the power to peg a winner before a large part of the electorate has voted. If this information is broadest, studies have shown that supporters of the projected loser will not turn out, hurting those on the ticket whose races have not yet been decided.

But instead, NBC went public and Bobbi Fiedler is now the representative for California's 21st Congressional District...
Then why expect a boom? Kahn's broadest reason is apolitical: a slowing of population growth and a continuing rise in gross world product should mean that there will be more to go around.

There is no prediction about how this wealth will trickle to 250 million Americans. There is guarded optimism about inflation. Inflation, of course, is very thinkable, though Kahn's thoughts on how to deal with...
Feminism was the last focus of the civil rights movement and the more general social activism of the late 1960s. Its potential constituency was the broadest and the deepest, but so were the problems it addressed: too wide, too varied, rooted too deep in sexuality and self-image, even in language. Ms.? An abbreviation for manuscript; an affectation otherwise, a pretense. Abortion? A moral question, never a biological one. Right to work? Something the unions settled during the Depression...
