...brought them together and what they passed around among themselves was a picture clipped from the Denver Post showing groups of two of their most potent gods, the Mudheads and the Shalakos, among the white men. After due deliberation, the chiefs sent a delegation to the Indian Commissioner in Gallup, N. Mex., 33 miles north of the pueblo, to protest against the sacrilege and to inform him that henceforth the great Zuñi pueblo would be closed to all non-Zuñi visitors...
Carrying on a year-end custom established in 1946, Pollster George Gallup last week sent his interviewers out to ask a cross section of the U.S. public: "What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire the most?"

The Navahos still paint animals, like the cows below, on the cliffs; the earliest known example of their...
Timesmen reached only half of the reporters, and instead of Gallup-type "yes or no" questions, asked for opinions-which often turned out to be foggy. Nevertheless, concluded the Times survey: "The prevailing opinion . . . was that [Truman's] charge could not be sustained against [Eisenhower], but that it applied" to other parts of the Republican Administration. A representative answer: "I believe I would say that the President has not embraced 'McCarthyism' at all, personally. I do think that Brownell went so far in his accusation as to utilize, even if unwittingly, the McCarthy technique...
