...Harris-ABC poll puts the approval figure at 43%, though it is up from 36% in March. The Iowa Poll, the most respected in the Midwest, indicates that Carter is in a "public opinion tailspin" that has been gaining momentum in recent months. Those giving him a favorable report plummeted from 80% a year ago to 45% this month, a drop that was exceeded only by Richard Nixon in his last year in office, during the Watergate scandal...
...studies exist to tell researchers whether or not the panic is warranted. Some experts contend that HEW's warning was based on insufficient data. One specialist at the National Center for Disease Control in Atlanta pointed out that there were as yet no verified reports of illness in the U.S. due to paraquat-sprayed grass. Some experts speculated that there might be less harm in smoking paraquat than in swallowing the chemical in liquid form.

If anyone remains in charge, it will be veteran Correspondent Frank Reynolds, who will introduce and frequently report stories from his post in Washington. Peter Jennings will sort out foreign stories from London. Max Robinson, until now a local TV newsman in Washington, will handle news from Chicago, and a fourth news desk will be set up later in Los Angeles. Barbara Walters will stay...
Student objections centered on the fact that the report does not call for any immediate action to help get U.S. firms out of South Africa, and may in fact never bring about such action. Although the report pledges Harvard to support shareholder resolutions in firms whose product lines directly support apartheid in South Africa, some recent Corporation decisions do not exactly fit into that category. After the Corporation voted this week to abstain on shareholder resolutions calling on Motorola and the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company to leave South Africa, students are not exactly holding their breaths for a swift...
