...strength." Evident all around is a busy sense of awakening. Children are learning about the perils of alcohol in school through slogans like "Get Smart, Don't Start -- Just Say No." The accumulated scientific findings of the past decade are having a major impact on the public. Recently a Gallup poll found that a great majority of American adults are convinced that alcoholism is indeed an illness rather than a sign of moral backsliding.

A 1953 Gallup poll showed that she was, after Eleanor Roosevelt, Queen Elizabeth II and Mamie Eisenhower, the most admired woman in the world...
...impression that Will Rogers articulated decades ago when he announced that he didn't belong to an organized political party: he was a Democrat. A good bit of the population has something like that impression as well, to judge from an exceptionally broad and detailed poll conducted by Gallup for the Los Angeles Times Mirror Co. and published last week. On the whole, the 4,200 people polled were markedly favorable toward the party; 54% identified themselves as Democrats or leaning that way, vs. 46% Republicans or G.O.P. leaners...
