...Whatever the ultimate outcome, the signature validating will scarcely have begun when the Republicans meet in Miami Beach, and the campaign could thus damage Reagan's hope for the nomination. In any case, Reagan is not likely to lose all that much luster at home. A Mervin Field Poll last week showed that if a recall election were actually held, Reagan would be returned to office with a 2-to-l plurality, higher than the one that made him Governor two years...
...than like sheer nonsense. Britain's trade deficit dropped 42% in June, the best performance in any month since devaluation, and Europe's central bankers showed their confidence in the pound by giving Britain $2 billion in new stand-by credits to defend it. A Daily Mail poll showed that the massive Tory lead of 23.5% in April had been cut to 13.5% this month. Then, last week, Labor scored its second parliamentary by-election victory in five weeks. The win at Caerphilly, Wales, was narrow for a traditionally safe Labor seat, but it at least maintained Wilson...
There were rebuffs, notably from Richard Nixon and G.O.P. National Chairman Ray Bliss, on Rocky's suggestion that he and Nixon 1) meet in a debate, and 2) sponsor a state-by-state voter poll to test their Electoral College strength. The setbacks did not shake Rocky. He announced on ABC-TV that he had "decided to go ahead anyhow in undertaking a national survey to break out individual states and key cities," even though it might cost him, according to an earlier-and very conservative-estimate, an average of at least $5,000 a state. Such a figure...
...first time since it began publishing 33 years ago, the Gallup poll reports that crime is the nation's No. 1 domestic concern. And "crime in the streets"?a catchall phrase for everything from muggings to insurrections?may well have displaced Viet Nam as the prime issue in the presidential campaign. The FBI reckons that urban crime jumped 88% in the first seven years of the decade?and 17% over 1967 in the first three months of 1968. Granting a sizable margin of inaccuracy in reporting, the figures are probably a fair approximation of the facts. In response...
...many parts of the land. On weekends, mixed couples by the dozens stroll in Manhattan's Central Park, through Chicago's Old Town and Hyde Park areas, in San Francisco's North Beach. The strongest enclave for interracial dating is the school or college campus. A poll taken recently at Detroit's Wayne State University showed that 279 out of 365 students had dated, or intended to date, members of another race. Says Jim Nabors, vice chairman of the Afro-American Student Union at Berkeley: "It's no longer avantgarde. It's just...
