...social and technological problems, or the variation in thinking among young people from different regions of the country." In an interview, Mack repeatedly stresses the need for more research--for better surveys, for more in-depth interviewing, for studies on how families deal with the problem--and begs for caution in "claiming importance for the findings thus far." In other words, here is the acknowledgement of the need for the context of which Coles speaks...

...despite the hopeful smiles and the enthusiastic statements, the Soviets were exercising caution in voicing their preference for the 1984 election. Too obvious an endorsement of Mondale would almost certainly have backfired, prompting many voters to desert the Democratic nominee as too conciliatory and, in U.N.

He kept quiet about precisely what was said in his discussion with the Soviet Foreign Minister. He also carefully avoided jumping into actual negotiations himself, advising Gromyko in no uncertain terms to go back to the bargaining table with the Reagan Administration and upholding the President's supreme jurisdiction over national security...

...sounds like an odd way to attract votes. But for Walter Mondale, this is no time for caution; if he is to win the presidency, he must come from further behind (13 to 16 points, according to three newly released national polls) than any non-incumbent ever has been able to at this stage of a campaign. So the Democratic nominee last week took the big risk of proposing tax boosts that by fiscal 1989 would raise an extra $85 billion a year from many corporations and all families earning more than $25,000 a year. He also outlined plans...
