...nation's most famous pollster, George Gallup, employs randomization, requires a fifty-fifty balance between men and women. His interviewers follow assigned patterns in selecting persons to question. They may be told to seek out the youngest voting-age person in each household on the probability that this will reach a balance of age groups. They skip some corner houses on the theory that corner property is higher-priced and its occupants are likely to be more affluent than their neighbors...

Madison Avenue denizens report that Erwin Wasey will seek to give Goldwater an "institutional" image, using him in serious five-minute TV spots that will run around such shows as the Lawrence Welk hour, Hollywood Palace and Today, which will be shortened to make time for the ads.
