...Tories denationalized steel] had never happened. It has no new ideas, and instead of helping the industry, will actually hinder it." Besides, he added, "there is no urgency to nationalize steel at this moment" in the country. It was one of those classic British understatements. That morning's Gallup poll showed that only 30% favored nationalization, and Labor's 8% lead with the voters had been replaced by a 2% Tory advantage as a result of the steel proposals...
...Modern penology has swung from retaliation to rehabilitation, and paroled murderers rarely murder again. Even states empowered to execute are loath to do so. While rejecting abolition, Massachusetts has not executed anyone since 1947. New Hampshire has put no one to death since 1939.

French Existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, 59, felt alone. According to a Gallup poll, 67% of the U.S. population supports the air strikes on North Viet Nam. Sartre is 100% against them.

...first, Leyton seemed not only safe for Labor but also safe from the race issue, since only 3% of its population is nonwhite. But in politics no issue stays dormant. Gordon Walker found things complicated by the fact that last November-after reading a Gallup poll showing 68% of all Britons to be in favor of some curbs on immigration-Wilson's Labor government voted to renew the same immigration law it had fought so vigorously in 1961. Kicking off the Tories' campaign against Gordon Walker in Leyton, former Colonial Secretary Iain Macleod chortled, "I welcome, though...
