A veteran columnist explains the divide between his analytic stance and personal political beliefs. He recalls predicting Adlai Stevenson's loss in 1952 and notes how early campaigning shapes public perception.

He cites skepticism about the 1974 elections and ends by shifting to unemployment as a practical issue.
