Officer Overton is not alone in his conviction. More than 5,000,000 Americans, according to a recent Gallup poll, are certain that they have seen flying saucers or other UFOs (unidentified flying objects). Furthermore, Gallup reports, 46% of American adults believe that UFOs are something real. Scores of flying-saucer clubs are operating across the nation. They include small groups of semireligious eccentrics who worship saucermen and claim to have met them. They also include retired Marine Major Donald Keyhoe's serious and influential National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), the source of some of the best...
...Brien, needing Morrison's support for a parcel-post reform bill, ordered ,the stamp. O'Brien got his bill and Morrison got his stamp-but when the Congressman came up for re-election last fall, his constituents voted him out of office. As for his stamp, a poll run by Linn's Weekly Stamp News, the philatelist's bible, elected the Great River Road design the ugliest of the year...

The poll showed Richard Nix on maintaining a commanding lead among the Republican rank and file as a presidential preference.

The report, based on inter views with 1,700 unionists, showed the President a 55%-to-22% favorite over Nixon, 46%-to-30% favorite over Romney, and a 60%-to-16% choice over Reagan. There was one surprise, though, and a portent of trouble. A.F.L.-C.I.O. members under the age of 30, more flexible in their political allegiances than their fathers, preferred Romney over...
...seeking to widen the former Vice President's early lead. Moreover, there is talk that California's Governor Ronald Reagan, getting less and less bashful on the subject of the presidency, might go into New Hampshire. In his own state, according to Mervin Field's California Poll, Reagan still trails Nixon and Romney, in that order, among preferred G.O.P. presidential candidates. But after interviewing 1,021 California Republicans, Field concluded last week that Reagan's strength has doubled to 15% in the past two months. A move by Reagan into New Hampshire would cut deeply into...
