...purposes of analysis, the two groups were labeled resentful and non-resentful Americans, somewhat of a necessary oversimplification: obviously, their attitudes often overlap. The resentful tend to have less than a high school education (51% v. 31% of the nonresentful), to have blue-collar jobs (53% v. 39%), earn less than $10,000 a year (52% v. 34%), to be Southerners (41% v. 29%) and to live in small towns or rural areas...
...needed little prodding. Within recent months the festering relations between Greece and Turkey had worsened as a result of a dispute over a major discovery of offshore oil in the Aegean Sea near Thasos. The oil is situated in an area where the continental shelves of the two countries overlap, causing arguments about ownership. Turkey has indicated willingness to arbitrate the controversy, but Greece adamantly refuses. At the moment, Athens is in control of the area...
...find drew an admission from the White House last week that two typists had independently transcribed the same portion of a meeting between the President (P) and Assistant Attorney General Henry E.

The error was not caught sooner because the versions differ so markedly, underscoring the House Judiciary Committee's argument that only the tapes will suffice as evidence in its impeachment inquiry. Comparisons of parts of the two versions...
...years; a design patent lasts for 14 years but protects the creation even when another innocently comes up with the same idea. Generally, copyrights are for the protection of authors, while patents are for inventors. Still, said the U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, there can be an overlap; and in such cases, the author-inventor may ask for both forms of protection. The new winner in this fledgling category is Richard Q. Yardley, who created the Spiro Agnew wristwatch. For its qualities as a "work of art," said the court, the watch deserves a copyright...
...have certain expectations. Confronted with this state of psychic anarchy, the reviewer essentially has two options. He can accept his preconditioning as a given, and simply write down his reactions as they occur, leaving it to the reader to determine the extent to which the reviewer's tastes overlap with the reader's own. The other option is to attempt to make an objective appraisal of the film in the film's own terms, either omitting, or specifically identifying the critic's personal prejudices...
