...fame and influence on the basis of two celebrated debacles. During the 1936 presidential campaign, the old Literary Digest ran a mail poll and was wrong, while three more scientific pollsters were right. Those three-George H. Gallup, Elmo Roper and Archibald Crossley-conducted interviews among a predetermined mix of ethnic, income and age groups that seemed representative of the U.S. population. The other turning point was in 1948, when the pollsters again used this "quota system" of sampling-but were wrong. The U.S. had become so complex that picking just the right population mix was too difficult...
...Afro program will be conducted in Cambridge Community Center on Callandar St., just off Putnam Ave. During the summer, which will serve as the pilot program, students will be invited two or three days a week for a wide mix of activities. During the winter, Wolfe said, each student will probably come one afternoon a week, between...
...terrestrial life consisted of some primitive organisms that consumed oxygen as fast as green plants manufactured it. Only by some primeval accident were the greedy organisms buried in sedimentary rock (as the source of crude oil, for example), thus permitting the atmosphere to become enriched to a life-sustaining mix of 20% oxygen, plus nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapor. With miraculous precision, the mix was then maintained by plants, animals and bacteria, which used and returned the gases at equal rates. About 70% of the earth's oxygen is thus produced by ocean phytoplankton: passively floating plants...
...isolationism is a real danger. I do not believe that we have no interests in Asia, and the alternative to over-investment is not total withdrawal. We have to seek a systematic withdrawal and de-militarization of our commitment, and simultaneously try to introduce Soviet and Japanese influence to mix in with our presence...
...this group numbered from 50 to 60. That may be a high estimate. As with every activity at Harvard, the active members form something of a club. They room together, hold bull sessions together, and eat in Lehman Hall together--not exclusively, but usually. If SDS people don't mix much with the liberal activists and get their message out that way, it is because the two are motivated by almost completely different goals. The SDS activists have made social concerns their lives. But their liberal "shock troops" have not: these students perceive their own estrangement from the government...
