...half a picture, and a deceptive one. The 42 per cent tally garnered this week by Eugene J. McCarthy reflects as much on McCarthy's attractiveness as a candidate as on the potency of his major issue. Voters with ambivalent feelings about the war, but with feelings of pronounced distrust for President Johnson and his Administration, were drawn to McCarthy's obvious integrity and to a softspoken style as convincing as it was awkward...

This year, perhaps half of all Volunteers will be at least partly trained in-country; in 1969, the great majority. The Peace Corps has now largely gained the insights and the technical tools, such as language and training, to split the historic syndrome of the American...
