...professor of social psychology, that Vietnam is far from sui generis in this respect. In a soon-to-be-published study, Modigliani reevaluates poll data from the Korean War, and finds the same surprising divergence of foreign policy views between socio-economic groups. Most important, Modigliani rejects the traditional hawk-dove scale as a misleading oversimplification of public opinion range...
Cowboy Gangs. The new role of ARVN in the war has wrought many changes in South Vietnamese life. On the shabby tin huts outside the base at Cu Chi, which was turned over to the South Vietnamese in 1970, the signs in English that used to hawk steambaths and massage parlors have been only partially covered over by messages in Vietnamese tuned to ARVN needs and tastes: cheap gifts, laundry services and sinh-to, the Vietnamese variation of Orange Julius...
...December from his Ipswich home. With long legs and arms that flopped around with nonchalant grace, he scaled the Crimson steps looking like a suburban squire should, work-booted, wearing nondescript dungarees and a good sweater gone bad.

Dominant metaphors resonate with historical substance. As Rabbit journeys, the theater marquee goes from 2001 to TRUE GRIT...
...Feeling. To broaden his base, McGovern has lately begun seeking allies among labor and reaching for the increasingly important farm vote. Until late last summer, he was on AFL-CIO Chief George Meany's blacklist. It was partly a matter of hawk against dove, but equally at issue was a little-noticed attack by McGovern, long remembered by Meany, on labor's opposition to the 1963 U.S. wheat sales to Russia. "That really stuck in his craw," McGovern says, "and I went over to see him and apologize." Last month, McGovern was the only Democratic presidential possibility...
