WHEN they look in the mirror of their own lives, a majority of Americans-black and white, young and middleaged, male and female, working-class and professional-are reasonably content with their present lot and confident that it will improve.

The interviews reach no conclusions, and convey the mood of "Meet the Press" rather than an important political meeting. Only one veteran breaks the monotony of disconnected testimony by showing the relationship between his Vietnam experiences and his current life...
