...country. France's Charles de Gaulle has often said as much, and the Harris figures strongly indicate that he is right. More Americans are willing to use nuclear weapons in defense of Canada than of any other country, but at that only 17% would risk it. Mexico is second, at 15%. If Brazil were invaded by outside Communist military force, 52% would favor some form of U.S. help-though only 7% would go so far as to launch hydrogen bombs.

When the youths tried to chase away their tormentors, the Paisleyites responded with stones, waving the Union Jack...
...their siege continued into the second day in an atmosphere of imminent bloodshed, Perkins decided he had only one recourse. He gave in to the black militants' demands for a general amnesty-for the December demonstrators as well as those holed up in the student union.
