...voters-is doubtless correct in saying that the majority supports him on the war, and it is an important fact. But to lean on that fact quite so heavily may not be the wisest form of leadership. The majority rules, and it should-but it is sometimes wrong and often fickle. What (it is intriguing to speculate) would the President do if his present majority should change its mind and turn against his policies? One thing, though: the President has not yet taken to carrying different opinion polls, Johnson-style, in all his pockets...

...they hardly noticed the passage of time. With the enthusiasm of Tenderfoot Boy Scouts, they photographed and collected rocks, took a sample core of the lunar soil, poked into innumerable small craters and fascinated geologists with their descriptions of small, strange-looking mounds.

"The patient's skin got darker, but the tremor got worse...

"You will have to steel yourselves to the fact that all the things happening are all the wrong things-lower profits, a cost squeeze." Even after the "painful transition" is over, he said, the Government will not allow the economy to resume its rapid rate of growth. Instead of annual increases in spending of 8%-10%, the growth will be held down, McCracken said, and "this difference should be kept firmly in mind." Labor Secretary Shultz said that the businessmen would have to face union...
