Wrong Pocket. In case anyone was concerned about his health, Johnson dug into a pocket for the report of a physical examination he had undergone after his nine-lap hike earlier in the week. Wrong pocket. "Whoops, that's the latest Gallup poll," he said. He dug deeper, came up with some figures from Pollster Elmo Roper showing that he was favored by 68% of U.S. women, 70% of those aged 21 to 34, 73% of the Catholics, 86% of the Negroes, 97% of the Jews. Finally he produced the medical report, signed by four physicians. "His exercise tolerance...
...ahead of Barry Goldwater 65% to 29% nationwide, with 6% undecided. Elmo Roper estimates that Lyndon is running ahead 56% to 26%, with the rest undecided. Oliver Quayle, a former associate of Lou Harris, shows Lyndon running ahead of Barry by 70% to 12% in Maine. A New York poll gives him 69% of the votes, a California sampling 64%, and the John P. Harris poll, run by a Kansas outfit, has him leading Barry 52 to 28 in that state. There are soft spots throughout the South and the Rocky Mountains, but beyond that, the polls leave little more...
...took it for granted that the next British elections would return the first Labor government in 13 years. Last week that outcome looked far less certain.

Anti-coddlers roast juvenile courts by reciting the statistic that persons under 25 now account for one-third of all city arrests for serious crimes. In a random poll of visitors to the New York World's Fair, the Daily News asked, "Should juvenile offenders involved in serious crimes be shielded from publicity?" The poll standing last week: Yes, 8,063; No, 13,459. Such reaction is fueled by the action of a New York City juvenile court last month after two juveniles drenched a six-year-old boy in lighter fluid and set him afire for "kicks...
...clean cars and hot meals in a diner. Last year 20,000 motorists stowed both themselves and their autos aboard overnight trains, slept their way to their destinations. No wonder the railroad hauls 45% of Germany's intercity passengers (v. 3% in the U.S.) and that a recent poll found that 53% of all Germans prefer trains to planes (28%) or autos (15%) for long trips...
