...bottom, the McGovern question turned on two radically different perceptions of the nation's mood. Perception One: The U.S., while desiring some change-tax relief, an end to the war -remains too determinedly centrist to elect a candidate who talks of tampering fundamentally with the nation's economic structure and defense policies. The center, Political Analysts Richard Scammon and Ben J. Wallenberg wrote in 1970, is "where viclory lies. The greal majority of the voters of America are unyoung, unpoor and unblack.

Dr. Joseph Simone of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis told an American Cancer Society/National Cancer Institute meeting in New York that this dual approach may ultimately lead to a cure for childhood leukemia. Of 30 youngsters to undergo the treatment, 18 have enjoyed complete relief for at least 3½ years. Dr. James Holland of Buffalo reported success with a straight chemotherapeutic approach.

...Angolese rebel army, how many do you suppose would sign up?" This is somewhat irrelevant, as is black Professor Martin Kilson's insistence that black students should give up their scholarships before demanding action from Harvard which might threaten its investment return. Nevertheless, the connection between such protests and relief from oppression for Angolese people is about as distant as it can be. One wonders if the president of Gulf was even vaguely aware of the crisis to which the president of Harvard had to devote full-time for nearly a month for even if Harvard were forced to divest...
