...chosen from those participating in an earlier, scientifically selected sampling of 2,320 voters in 16 key electoral states; they were interviewed by telephone from Aug. 25 through Sept. 7 by Daniel Yankelovich Inc. By 2 to 1 they prefer the President over McGovern, expressing their preferences with unusual vigor for so early in a presidential campaign...
Joseph Pechman, a leading tax-reform authority who drafted much of McGovern's current program, argues forcefully that in the long run the level of investment depends not on tax rates but on the vigor of the economy. That contention illustrates a profound difference in philosophy: broadly speaking, Nixonians view investment as the most important force powering economic growth, while McGovernites give priority to consumer spending. McGovern himself has quoted John Kennedy's remark that "a rising tide lifts all the boats." But Treasury Secretary Shultz had a ready reply: "We must be careful...
GORDON PARKS JR. has directed from a Philip Henty script. Parks, who did some special photography for Burn and The Godfather, and who is the son of the Life photographer and creator of Shaft, far surpasses his father in filmmaking vigor in this, his first feature.

Edmund Muskie also withdrew. "Let us recognize," he said, "that George McGovern's candidacy gives a hope for the long-term health and vigor of the Democratic Party and its processes far more significant than temporary difficulties and irritations from sometimes brash new blood."

Although he had been on the point of endorsing McGovern several weeks before, Muskie clung to a stubborn hope. On Monday he tried to call a conference of all the candidates to reach...
Obviously the trials of this Asian young Werther need to be told with exceptional vigor and skill, but Mishima was no Goethe. Digressions and flashbacks are often handled with surprising awkwardness. Kiyoaki is stupefyingly narcissistic, and unfortunately so is the author. He pauses so often to admire his hero and his school friends that at times the prose itself resembles a drowning pool. Some of this satiety may be chargeable to a wordy, flaccid translation. Occasionally, however, Mishima produces sensual writing of great delicacy. Looking at two Siamese princes, Kiyoaki reflects: "Such skin must surely seal within itself a cool...
