...rain and the curtain come down, we are left to ask, "So what?" It's sentimental, but why dig up the Minutemen from obscurity? Because the parallel drawn between John Sterge and Charlie Finaly is not so absurd. The Minutemen demise provides a textbook example of what may be the Appomattox of professional sports...
...lead in the presidential race. Last week he and Gerald Ford were running dead even, each with 43% of the vote; 14% were undecided. Carter led Ford by 6 percentage points in late August, just after the Republican National Convention, and by 9 points in late June. In a parallel shift of perceptions, voters by 44% to 40% now expect Ford to win on Nov. 2. In late August, the voters by 57% to 34% predicted a Carter victory. These are the findings of a nationwide telephone survey of 1,308 registered voters, conducted for TIME by the opinion research...
Seventeenth century England was much taken by Sir Walter Raleigh's description of an American demi-Eden where it was forever either spring or summer.

Hart Associates shows that people who do not plan to vote prefer...
Moynihan's combination of scholarly pursuits and public service is almost without parallel in America today. Along with ground-breaking books on ethnicity (Beyond the Melting Pot, co-authored by Nathan Glazer) and the Great Society (Maximum Feasible Misunderstanding), he served as a White House Counsellor to Richard Nixon and persuaded him to support an income-maintenance program. Later, Moynihan was named Ambassador to India by Nixon and Ambassador to the U.N. by Ford. He was expected to be no great shakes as a campaigner, but he seems to be catching on. With his polka...
