Realistic Conservative. To be sure, the Southern Republicans have been on the march for years, but their principal successes have been in presidential elections-particularly 1964-rather than in state and local races. Moreover, many successful G.O.P. candidates in the South have battened on racism, as Southern Democrats have done for a century. In Arkansas, Rockefeller went the opposite way.

...professor predicts that teachers would have to leave out all of the new and exciting but irrelevant developments in their field. "If you just left in the things that every doctor should know," he worries, "it would be unpalatable. It would be like eating sawdust." Another professor, however, is sure that lecturers would drop the essential in favor of the new and exciting. "If we didn't attract students
