...firm in 1956, he came to national prominence as chief polltaker for John Kennedy. Since then, he has made political soundings for nearly 50 U.S. Senators and a score of Governors, taken commercial surveys for many firms, and run polls for TV, magazines and newspapers; his own column, distributed by the Chicago Tribune-New York Daily News Syndicate, appears in over 50 papers across the U.S. For any given poll, he can call on a nationwide network of 27 field supervisors and some 3,000 part-time "stringers," who do the actual interviewing. His analysts in Manhattan study the answers...
...basic approach is a tantalizing simplicity-a column of polished steel, a square sheet of blank paper with a single word such as "Sky" lettered on it, a wooden booth with a small plaque in it labeled "Suicide." Each is intended to convey or stimulate some arcane, fey or fiendish compulsion or conceit...
...Auto-Ceptor crash-restraint system is especially useful for drivers of minicars. In case of collision, big nitrogen-inflated nylon balloons pop out of the steering column and dashboard, pinning motorists to their seats and keeping them from flying through the windshield.

The Auto-Ceptor system works automatically: balloons inflate in one twenty-fifth of a second when...
...though, Shana is a surpassing pro. After graduating from Vassar, she worked on the Sunday magazine of the old PM, later freelanced and wrote radio scripts (among them: Mr. District Attorney). Then, in 1951, she took a job as a LIFE reporter and in 1964 began "The Feminine Eye" column. Sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp, and always quick, Shana draws meaning-for men as well as women-out of seemingly ordinary personal feelings. She rebelled against presidential polls, for instance, because "I fiercely resent being told what I am going to do. It makes me suspect I may be being programmed...
Putting aside the explanations, today I picked up a copy of Time and a copy of Mary McGrory's column concerning the Harvard situation. Being from the Boston area and a member of the military. I would appreciate commenting on the situation as everyone else seems to have done. McGrory is a bit too concerned about the Harvard "cool" and Time is too concerned about explaining how difficult it was for their reporter to enter University Hall. No one seems to care about the root of the problem--why it happened...
