Dynamic readers also attest that the actual experience of reading is greatly changed. Evelyn Wood, who herself can read almost anything at 12,000 words per minute, describes it: "The reader becomes a part of the story....The more accurately and carefully chosen the author's words, the sharper the pictures we see and experience....Since the Wood method relies upon the total idea or thought for meaning rather than the individual words, there is no feeling of hurry or fast motion or speeded reading... as the eyes go down the page.

He will not have trouble in his own district in November -- in 1966 he was reelected with 84.3 per cent of the vote -- but he could find himself in a moral dilemma. For in 1968, John Conyers will be a national figure. When he visits competitive Congressional districts, he will have to decide whether to ask Negroes to vote Democratic like their parents did or to vote against...
