...best thing Ford has going for him seems to be, well, Jimmy Carter. The Georgian is still an enigma to much of the public, including many of his own supporters. Fully 65% of the Ford voters cite their doubts about Carter as a very important reason in making their selection. That reason leads the list of others for supporting the President: he is at least a known quantity (54%), he has more experience (52%), he has been an effective President (50%). Only 15%, however, consider the fact that he is a Republican to be an important element in their choice...
...Carter voters. The next most important reason (63%) is that the Democratic candidate is considered to be more interested in the little man; 61% think that he offers the promise of a fresh, new start; 55% believe he will be more effective in getting things done. Finally, only 22% cite the fact that he is a Democrat...
...certain amount of stupidity was also involved. Canada massively miscalculated the outcry that would follow its ultimatum; had Ottawa foreseen the uproar, it would probably have brought the issue to a head much earlier and backed down when resistance got stiff.

Frighteningly daring, she has developed a series of ultra-acrobatic moves that leave crowds gasping. The Salto Comaneci, to cite one, is a twisting, back-somersaulting dismount from the uneven parallel bars that one U.S. gymnast has a forthright word for: "Madness." Her derring-do, coupled with unusual stability in such difficult and dangerous moves as three back handsprings in a row on the beam, won her last year...
Instead, these scientists have decided to rig the contest in their favor by changing the ground rules of discussion. They cite the stringency of their own precautions. They tell you that the p-3 facility is safe for all levels of the work they plan to pursue. But, as Richard C. Lewontin '50, professor of Biology, warned last week, we shouldn't be surprised if some overly ambitious scientists does experiments that should be classified p-4 in the p-3 facility. (p-4 work is very dangerous and needs a far more protective facility, like that used in biological...
