What they point out about the effects of third parties is for the most part unquestionable. But all previous efforts have been launched in the hope of electoral success, however that was defined. To run an independent candidate with any impact at all requires a degree of enthusiasm which the Levinson-Kearns argument fails to inspire. And when the votes come in, the enthusiasm collapses in spades...
Curious to hear about TIME'S impact on the 600 or so natives of Niuafo'ou (which is generally called Tin Can Island in honor of its un usual mail-delivery system), Dame enclosed a questionnaire with some recent issues. He received a written reply from Kitione Mamata, the island's telegraph operator...

By 1968, Negro voter registration in the eleven states of the old Confederacy may exceed 3,250,000, more than double the 1960 figure. Though the actual impact of this potential vote remains to be seen, a third-party bid could keep many Southern Negroes at home on Election Day by stimulating K.K.K.-type intimidation, or encourage them to vote for extremist black parties. In any event, a Wallace campaign seems certain to exacerbate racial friction wherever...

The en- counters were so catastrophic that bits of the earth, as well as chunks of the intruder, were hurled into space and then fell back. Heated both by the impact and their swift passage through the atmosphere, they were fused into glassy globules...
...Heezen and Glass, the coincidence implied that one phenomenon may have caused the other. The impact on the earth of a mile-wide meteorite might well have disturbed the complex motions of the earth's core that are believed to generate the magnetic field. As a result, the geologists suggest, the field may have flipped. It is also conceivable, they say, that at least some of the previous reversals of the magnetic field were caused by the catastrophic collision of huge meteorites or comets with the earth...
