...matter which party the candidate belongs to," observes Caddell, "and he can't solve the problems anyway, so personality is predominant. You can see that in the great number of negative 5 campaigns directed by one candidate 2 toward another, and that's the toughest thing to follow...

...They are much more likely to fool an interviewer on the telephone than during a personal session." Pre-election polls usually rely on one in-depth, in-person survey conducted a few months before the campaign. Follow-up polls are usually done by telephone. Most candidates prefer to save the $50,000 that a person-to-person follow-up would cost. This year that was a critical mistake in many states...

Still more revelations about other members of the solar system will follow. Between January and July 1979, first Voyager 1 and then Voyager 2, each after traveling more than half a billion miles, will begin closeup photographic surveys of the giant planet Jupiter and its larger moons.

When Corky and Peggy gaze into each other's eyes, kiss, then exchange a long look, a bedroom scene is obviously going to follow -- and indeed, the camera cuts to a pair of naked bodies (or naked backs, anyway) rolling around in soft focus. The structure of Goldman's script is equally transparent; he shows the agent telling the story of Corky's life to a T.V. exec, a clumsy means of providing the audience with background material...

WITH NOTHING ELSE to do I looked back, wondering if the two men had tried to follow. They hadn't. Instead, they were staring at something else. Johnnie and the others were opposite me. Johnnie yelled, wanting to know how I'd gotten across. It took me too long to understand what he was saying, let alone to try to formulate an answer.
