...many of his critics, but his tribulations were sufficient to deter any man of lesser fortitude or obstinacy. Week by week, his popularity-plummeted, reaching a low of 38% in October, where once he had basked in the approval of 80% of the nation (at year's end, however, Gallup showed him up to 46%). Congress, only recently scorned as a "rubber stamp," turned around and began stomping...

They attracted the whole spectrum of artistic talent, accurately forecast which schools and techniques were gaining popularity.

Americans may be making more money than ever, but a recent Gallup poll showed that 60% of them still regarded finances as their most urgent problem; thanks in part to medicare, illness was second, noted by only 8%. A Christian Science Monitor survey of the Governors said that they "see the housewife's economic anxieties (and her husband's, too) as overshadowing either Viet Nam or crime in the cities as the issue most likely to be felt...
