...survey released last week, 57% of those questioned generally approved of the way he is doing his job. The same poll had Reagan piling up commanding leads of 48% to 32% over Mondale and 51% to 29% over Senator John Glenn of Ohio. Other surveys show slimmer margins, and Gallup actually puts Reagan neck and neck with either Mondale or Glenn. But in no poll does the President trail nationally...
...from Mondale: "I think one of the fine things they did was to get rid of James Watt." That silence was disingenuous, since Reagan obviously has done a few worthy things. It was also an insult to the intelligence of 54% of the American people who, according to George Gallup, approve of Reagan's leadership in some way.

...conscious "publishing event": a 616-page special issue of Esquire, hailing "50 Americans who made the difference." In attendance were some of the issue's glittery contributors, including Norman Mailer, William Whittle and Kurt Vonnegut back subjects, Polio Vaccine Pioneer Dr. Jonas Salk, Boxer Muhammad Ali, Pollster George Gallup and Feminist Betty Friedan.

The incongruity of pink and green Joan (Fori Daniel) is good for a few laughs when she walks onto the room boyfriend (Eliot Meyers) in tow. She reminds us of our own foibles when she apologizes for begin late. ("We went...
Thus, once again, the Labor Party was locked into a defense policy that flouted national opinion. On the opening day of the conference, a Gallup poll showed that 74% of Britons, including 51% of Labor voters, believe that the party's unilateral disarmament policy would be dangerous for the country. Overall, the party was supported by only 24.5% of the electorate, just one point above the alltime low nearly two years ago. Undaunted, Ron Todd, the union delegate who had presented the unilateralist resolution, declared on TV: "I'd rather go down [in the next general election] than...
