WITH this week's issue, TIME begins a new feature and welcomes a new colleague. Louis Harris and Associates, one of the nation's leading political polling organizations, will conduct public opinion surveys and research for TIME and other Time Inc. publications on an exclusive basis in the magazine field. Under that arrangement, the editors of TIME will regularly ask Harris to explore how Americans feel about the urgent political, social and moral questions of the day. The first poll, which appears this week in The Nation, was begun in mid-March. It examines public convictions about military...
...with the Elmo Roper organization and then founded his own firm in 1956, he came to national prominence as chief polltaker for John Kennedy. Since then, he has made political soundings for nearly 50 U.S. Senators and a score of Governors, taken commercial surveys for many firms, and run polls for TV, magazines and newspapers; his own column, distributed by the Chicago Tribune-New York Daily News Syndicate, appears in over 50 papers across the U.S. For any given poll, he can call on a nationwide network of 27 field supervisors and some 3,000 part-time "stringers...

A full 40% of the voters had not yet made up their minds, and the rest were still divided. Only 52% intended to vote oui for De Gaulle's program-and therefore for De Gaulle himself...
Somehow, Ethel Kennedy has remained just outside the glare of publicity. She is one member of the family whose every move is not chronicled, whose private life is not public property. According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans regard her as the country's most admired woman.* It is an assessment born of sympathy, not knowledge. The public does not know her today. Perhaps it never did. Since that grim night in Los Angeles ten months ago, she has lived almost entirely in the seclusion of Hickory Hill and Hyannisport, breaking into the news only in December, when she bore...
