Nixon Set The Pace In Reelection Campaign

Analysis notes that President Nixon appears poised for a second term as voters back his leadership in international diplomacy and domestic programs.

McGovern Seen With Slim Youth Lead In Poll For 1976 Bid

A poll shows Senator McGovern with a narrow margin among 18 to 24 year olds voting for the first time this year and broad support among African Americans. He lags behind Nixon on most other axes yet is viewed as a liberal radical, while his real record favors old American ideals and withdrawal from Vietnam.

His fate may hinge on whether his foreign policy stance resonates enough to propel a 1976 bid.

The program, supported by Western countries and the United Nations, aims to produce large quantities through cultivation, with initial yields around 200 tons from 10 hectares and planned expansion to 300 hectares, while Iran maintains a separate limited opium program and harsh narcotics penalties including executions for smuggling and possession.
