Where does this leave the Left of the Democratic Party? McGovern has an excellent organization, solid grass-roots fund raising efforts, and forthright positions on the issues. Lindsay's assets are personal appeal (which could cut both ways), money, and a campaign based on the theme of the average citizen's powerlessness vis-a-vis Washington. McCarthy also has good funding, high public recognition, and an expressed willingness to challenge the Democratic Party in November if it again presents the American people with a choiceless choice...

"It involves the forthright use of makeup and more colors." The house of Estée Lauder, which first introduced what it calls the "civilized look" in 1969 and has heavily advertised it ever since, heralds it as "the return to real makeup." Revlon followed with deep brown cream rouges and nail lacquers in startling shades, from brown and purple to bright red, a color...
