The President, Brown admits, scored "a tremendous political coup by managing to identify himself with the cause of peace."

Political labels will become less important than they are even today, and it is likely that third and fourth parties-one of Wallaceite right-wingers, the other of left-of-center liberals-will be forces to reckon with in the elections of the '70s. The older parties may polarize along ideological, educational, or age lines. Simply because young people will constitute the largest single voting bloc in the nation, they may force a lowering...
