...often said that the young either ignore elections or vote the same way as their parents. My hunch is that this axiom is no longer good, at least among collegians. Almost every student I talked to this spring said that he and his friends were more liberal than their parents, and they intended to vote in 1972 if at all possible. The sluggish progress of states toward ratifying the constitutional amendment giving 18-year-olds the vote, coupled with disputed residency rules, may keep many from voting in near-campus elections. Still, hundreds are interviewing candidates and canvassing local voters...
...less baffling than Peking's, but only slightly. This year TIME made its own type of best actor nomination with the cover story on George C. Scott (March 22).

Minnesota got a Democratic Governor as well. "My hunch," said MacGregor, "is that a latter-day populism is rising in the Upper Midwest. That would explain the similar pattern of voting in the cities and in the rural areas. It would be in the tradition of that area...
THREE MEN ON A HORSE. George Abbott directs a revival of the 1935 comedy about a composer of greeting-card verses (Jack Gilford) who wiles away his commuting hours by hunch-picking horses with uncanny clairvoyance. The cast is superb, and the entire production is polished to a high gloss...
