American voters want to be offered a meaningful choice in their elections, but our moderate political system cannot easily accommodate glaring ideological alternatives. In 1968 the polls confirmed that voters saw little or no difference between Nixon and Humphrey on the issues, particulary Vietnam--the candidates were perceived as too close together. In 1972, the polls showed that many voters saw Nixon and McGovern, "the clearest choice of the century," as too far apart on the issues. Recent polls indicate that in 1976 the voters are able to clearly perceive issue differences between Ford and Carter, but that the differences...
Measures such as the Humphrey-Hawkins bill, which Carter supports, likewise offer only short-term panaceas to problems that must be dealt with on a broader scale. Bills such as these mean massive fiscal outlays and only short-term job security. And without proportionate tax increases, they mean huge deficits, runaway inflation and the "hidden tax" of diminished purchasing power for the individual...
Janos has been covering the show-business beat for two years, working on cover subjects as varied as Jack Nicholson and Mary Tyler Moore.

...piping" or conduit made by snipping out a small piece of bowel. While preparing the conduit, Whitmore and his colleagues had to work with exceptional care, keeping intact the blood vessels feeding that excised section of small intestine.

There, an external, flat plastic bag was attached (with glue), thus providing a urine reservoir that can be emptied at will...
...Humphrey's recovery proceeds as expected-two to three weeks in the hospital (at $350 a day, largely covered by his federal medical insurance), a month or more of convalescence-he should be able to resume his political career. Except for the pouch, the navel-to-pubis scar and the virtually inevitable impotence that results from such surgery, Humphrey will have few reminders of his ordeal on the operating table. He will be able to eat whatever he wants, work vigorously and even engage in such noncontact sports as golf or tennis...
