...margin of 52% to 35%, with 13% uncertain, they oppose any formal treaty pledging the U.S. to support Israel with arms and troops in case of attack.

A majority of 53% are also opposed to stationing a permanent U.S. peacekeeping force in the Middle East while a hefty 41% are willing and 6% are unsure.

Adds Illinois Democratic Chairman John Touhy...
...Wall. Someone named Larry just walked in here with reams of paper and enthusiasm about a new movie place in Cambridge, Off the Wall, where they show free films, children's pictures, video, and a lot of experimental stuff. He says a bunch of friends--filmmakers and artists--began to show movies up in their apartment and it expanded into the present coffeehouse setup they have now, which does "what the Orson Welles intended to do, and would be doing if they could afford it."
