...power, and Eastern Europe, where they are in power. Best exemplified in the West by the Italian Communist Party, the reformist strain is rational and reassuring. According to their pronouncements, the reformers aim to do what Alexander Dubcek attempted: to give Socialism a human face. The reformers reflect the trend toward embourgeoisement of the party members. Recognizing that voters are no longer gripped by old revolutionary slogans and that today's prosperous workers are more interested in Mercedes-Benz than Marx, many Communists have changed their tactics.

Late polls forecast a slipping trend for Poher (the last ceded him 25%, v. 37% at his high point), but they certainly did not suggest that he would almost drop to third.

The school made the change retroactive, so all the old LLB's could send in their diplomas and become...
...example of this last trend, McCarthy cited former Presidential advisor Wat Rostow, who wrote his work on the stages of economic growth, and then "as advisor he tried to prove his book was right." McCarthy regarded Henry Kissinger--former professor of Government, now a Nixon aide--as more pragmatic than Rostow, but commented "This may, in the long run, be more damaging...
