...down to some long-range planning in place of the pulpit vagaries he has relied upon so far, he could conceivably be supplanted-or the organization could follow its founder to the grave. For the time being, though, Abernathy is plainly relishing his new position. "We are going to stay in Washington," he declares repeatedly, "until Congress decides to put an end to poverty in this country...

Polls conducted by newspapers may also be unreliable because they do not test a true random sample but measure a floating population on street corners and in bars, tending to overlook housewives, elderly people and stay-at-homes. The best polls are those conducted by established, well-known polling organizations that regularly publish results.

Rivalry between two federations almost certainly would lead to more frequent work stoppages as competing unions attempted to demonstrate their skill in obtaining results. Should Reuther decide to found his own federation, he is unlikely to make his move until the presidential election campaign...
