...from the Libyans, although there are no supporting papers. "Under protest," Carter registered as a foreign agent on July 14. He has since said that he has no plans to work for the Libyans, but he could still make money from his contract with Charter. He will need every cent. In April, the Internal Revenue Service clamped a lien for back taxes on 38.6 acres that are part of the 58-acre site of his home in Buena Vista...
...course, there were no answers to reassure them. The mathematics indicate widespread jailings are unlikely; 10 per cent of the total registrant pool is 400,000 people, ten times the total population of America's federal penitentiaries. And there are obvious difficulties with convicting young men of violating a law that they knew at least to be of dubious constitutionality. But who knows? The punishment may be severe--a semester at Danbury, Conn., not UMass. Many young men turned around and said they will wait another week to make up their minds, time to see how many aren't registering...

Young men understand that society will proceed just fine without registration; only their lives, entrusted to the government, may not continue normally...

A 6-per-cent gain in one year is remarkable (although Princeton lifted its winning per-centage by an awesome 13.6 per cent...
...samplings the Anderson folks like to brag about, the ABC News-Louis Harris survey released last month is their favorite. Harris said on June 19 that if polls showed that Anderson had a real shot at the presidential election by October, 31 per cent of the electorate would vote for the independent, equaling the number who would vote for Carter and falling only four points short of Reagan's total. "If Anderson's apparent momentum were to continue, it is entirely possible that he could finish ahead of Carter and could press Reagan for the lead," added Harris...
