Rarely if ever in the long and lamentable history of the Viet Nam War have the attitudes of the American public shifted so abruptly as they have in recent weeks. That fact is sharply underscored by the TIME Citizens Panel, a group of 200 citizens randomly chosen from a scientifically selected cross section of 2,000 voting-age Americans. Conducted for TIME by Daniel Yankelovitch Inc., the in-depth interviews with panelists are designed to measure the mood of U.S. voters in election year 1972. In sounding out the panel on the war, the second of seven TIME Yankelovitch reports...
Only a month ago, the first Yankelovich report showed a deepening sense of gloom and frustration about the stepped-up hostilities. At that time, two-thirds of the TIME Citizens Panel felt that the war had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Now, in the aftermath of the mining of North Vietnamese harbors and the summit meeting in Moscow, there has been a distinct change of mood.

He pointed out that one of the verdicts...
AFTER BOTH men had their interviews, the citizens' panel expressed its preference for Peterson on May 13, but Owens then reneged on his promise. Either he does not really want a new City Manager, or he only wants one with a black skin. Even if, as Owens contends, Johnson does have a better record, Owens should fulfill the promises he made last fall and this spring, and he should abide by the outcome of the citizen participation process, joining with his liberal colleagues in making Peterson the new City Manager of Cambridge...
