RHODES v. GILLIGAN...
Ohio voters could not have been presented with two more starkly contrasting candidates. Incumbent John Gilligan, 53, is a former college instructor who pushed through the state's first income tax and upgraded public services, especially the underfinanced school system.

But by 1971 the Harvard senior and two partners had refined their technique and formed Cambridge Survey Research. Their first of many clients: George McGovern, whom C.S.R. projected as the Democratic nominee. Next, C.S.R. plans to offer quarterly economic reports...
