...TIME-Lou Harris Poll on changing morality that includes these findings: 1) Most Americans believe that "a white grocer who sells green tomatoes to a black customer is worse than a white Russian who sells red caviar on the black market," and 2) "94% believed that if God had meant man to take drugs on the street, He wouldn't have invented drugstores...
...middle-class fences. After his defeat in the Republican primary he reverted momentarily to high-flown calls on conscience, charging that the Marchi and Procaccino victories meant that "the forces of reaction and fear have captured both major parties in our city. They offer two candidates who appeal to fear, who appeal to the worst instincts in man." Now Lindsay has moved toward massaging the middle rather than assaulting...

Specifically that meant John Foster, the Defense Department's top research official. Foster's scientific work has been concerned with thermonuclear bombs (he did his graduate work under Edward Teller), and while Cambridge's behavioral scientists seem to like Foster personally (he is something of a Strangelovian cowboy, with a fondness for zooming around...
