...that he was the first choice of 63% of all Tory supporters; he had been endorsed by virtually every member of the Conservatives' shadow Cabinet, as well as by hundreds of local Tory associations across Britain.

At last month's A.A.A. meeting, President Ernestine Friedl of Duke University gingerly suggested to the 2,845 attending anthropologists that they look for work at junior colleges and in practical research-"directions for which the majority of us are ill prepared." Margaret Mead concurs about the need for practicality. In an interview with TIME Senior Correspondent Ruth Galvin, Mead charged that anthropologists are producing "academic versions of themselves and aren't oriented to things that need to be done in this world.
