...finding that out exactly presupposes that the people know exactly-and will say so. Can his supposedly unweighted questions draw sufficiently weighty answers? Gallup can cite example after example to indicate that they can and do.

And it is going to continue that way as long as people are afraid of what people will say and the stylish people think a rebozo is the badge...
Mackenzie King had set his heart on breaking Walpole's record. When the great day came, no one knew exactly what to say. There had been so many landmarks to note in his long career that only weathered phrases were left. M.P.s rang what changes they could in the House last week. King himself declared with conscious modesty: "Today's record makes clear that to gain and to retain power in a free country . . . it is not necessary [to] be either a superman or a dictator...
