...public support for Carter has also had a strong effect on his chances when he is compared with the leading Republican candidates. In a TIME/Yankelovich survey in August, former California Governor Ronald Reagan led President Carter by four percentage points. But now Carter has pulled into a comfortable 14-point lead over Reagan. Carter would also now swamp John Connally, 53 to 23, compared with a mere four-point advantage for Carter in August. Carter leads Howard Baker by 30 points; in August the President and the Senate minority leader were running in a dead heat...
Among Republicans, the struggle for the nomination remains virtually frozen. Ronald Reagan, now an announced candidate but one who has done only the most perfunctory campaigning, remains almost unchallenged in the Yankelovich survey.

For a parting shot, Post asked Kennedy what his reaction was to Ronald Reagan's argument that the Shah should be allowed to stay in the U.S. because he had been a loyal friend. Kennedy answered with an emotional attack on the Shah, who, he claimed, "ran one of the most violent regimes in the history of mankind." How can we justify taking in the Shah...
...radioactive dust. Status symbols are precise and demanding, though in Los Alamos as in places like Cambridge, Mass., class is projected through such things as battered cars and withered clothes. Nuclear families here "are headed by a father who never had a stray thought, uncertainty or doubt," explains Father Ronald L. Bruckner, pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church. "These are self-made men who, if they had a doubt, also had a standard deviation formula to solve...
