Most, like Janice Lehr, an Independent for Nixon, tend to feel that the President's decision to mine North Viet Nam harbors and increase the bombing "took a lot of courage and showed we couldn't be pushed around." Consistent with their approval of the President's foreign policies, pro-Nixon panelists strongly oppose McGovern's proposal to reduce defense spending by $32 billion over three years. "In order...

He also argues that the world should limit its use of energy: "At the moment we waste some of it, using it as if there were no tomorrow. We overheat...
With his unchallenged power, Mobutu has succeeded in giving his country the two things it needed most: a measure of peace and relative stability.
