...neither candidate has shown much inclination to ward that end, and there are other facts working against it. Each man by now has attracted a considerable following that desperately wants him to win and doesn't much care how or for what reasons. These voters run the gamut from those who think Johnson will usher in Communism to those who feel just as strongly that Goldwater will provoke war.

The meeting, sponsored semi-annually by the Radcliffe Government Association, could not plunge as deeply into the problem as the one-and-a-half year old Doty Committee, but they made some soundings...
