...waiting for him, still holding out on Muskie or anyone else; Humphrey has asked them to keep their purses locked until November. Labor still likes him. He is well known and has a following among party regulars, although he ran second to Muskie (37%, to 15%) in a Gallup poll of Democratic county chairmen. He is a close third in polls of registered Democrats (after Muskie and Edward Kennedy). But his 1968 defeat hurts badly, he is probably a too familiar face, and his nomination might touch off a schismatic fourth-party movement to the left. EDWARD KENNEDY...
...more available-would reduce the birth rate to below the magic 2.1. The principal question-raised anew last month by Milton Eisenhower and ex-Senator Joseph Tydings, founders of the Coalition for a National Population Policy-is whether Americans can be persuaded to want fewer children. A recent Gallup poll showed that the trend is in that direction: the percentage favoring large families (four or more children) has dropped from 40% in 1967 to only 23% today.

...desert dawn is bright and clear; the sun backlights the Manzano Mountains to the east. The train climbs continually to the Continental Divide crossing at Gonzales. "Back in the days of hand-fired steam locomotives, we were real glad to get here," says Ray Derksen, acting train master at Gallup. Derksen points out a hotbox detector at trackside, an infrared gadget that spots defective wheel bearings; one installation can cost as much as $50,000, but a single derailment caused by a hot box can be much more expensive...
...results, abstracted from data collected by Gallup pollsters, indicate that Americans in large numbers feel that their country has slid backward during the past five years. Moreover, nearly one in every two Americans regards national tensions as grave enough to "lead to a real breakdown in this country." There is a spreading lack of faith in both the nation's leadership and its institutions; only a small minority dismiss the national unrest as "the work of radicals and troublemakers." A clear majority agrees that the U.S. must end the war in Viet Nam, even at the risk...
