...more can be made acceptable to the American people. To disabuse them of this notion will probably require, at the least. months of mass demonstrations in favor of immediate withdrawal, and a greater percentage of Americans supporting such a policy than the 57 per cent reported in the last Gallup poll...
...doubts that Kennedy's national stature remains much diminished. A Gallup poll showed him running behind Maine's Edmund Muskie and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey against Richard Nixon. The traditional Kennedy constituency-made up of the young, women, blacks-were especially disillusioned. His once unassailable power in Massachusetts has continued to slide, though Bay State Republicans probably have no hope of defeating him next year. And it remains possible that the reopening of the Kopechne case will damage him further...
...trim the power of the miners, steelworkers and other old-industry unions. He wants to cut strikes and industrial unrest by 40% over the next year, but the government, businessmen and the public appear doubtful that he can succeed. If Feather fails, Wilson could be hurt.

Well-educated, middle-and upper-class women usually want fewer children than poor women. But "on the average, all parents desire more children than the number required to maintain the population equilibrium." Birth control devices are already widely available to all but a tiny fraction of U.S. citizens. Smith declares, but -really effective population control cannot be achieved until there is a change in society's attitude toward procreation. As things...
