...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. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's words, "soft on Communism." The risk of such a backlash, significant in any election, would have been compounded in this race by Reagan's remarkable ability to maintain a monopoly on flag and patriotism--and his repeated attempts to associate Mondale with the Carter Administration's perceived inability to adequately...

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...
