Americans have their say in this up-to-the-minute public-opinion survey.
Some 3,000 of them have been polled by Louis Harris Associates
during the past 36 hours. Tonight, their answers are fed into studio computers for an analysis of views on the economy, crime in the streets, youth and drugs, Vietnam, and recreation interests.
Interpreting the data (in the studio and by cross-country telephone hookup) are pollster Louis Harris; former attorney general Ramsey Clark; former presidential assistants Walt Rostow and Bill Moyers; and John Knowles, general director of Massachusetts General Hospital. Viewers may compare their own opinions to those given in the poll.
Producer Lester Cooper says the program's aim is to "find out what common goals Americans have and how to make them work."
Frank Reynolds is the host.

Bert Campaneris Bat Throwing Incident: 1972 ALCS
In 1972, LaGrow had a 1.32 earned run average (Adjusted ERA+ of 240) in 16 games. He also pitched 1 scoreless inning in Game 2 of the 1972 American League Championship Series against the Oakland Athletics. LaGrow's single inning led to one of the most memorable moments of the 1972 ALCS. In the bottom of the 7th inning, Bert Campaneris came to bat, having had 3 hits, 2 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases in his first 3 at bats in the game. LaGrow's first pitch hit Campaneris in the ankle. Campaneris staggered for a moment, glared at LaGrow and then flung his bat toward LaGrow. The bat spiraled at LaGrow five feet off the ground, but LaGrow ducked, and the bat narrowly missed LaGrow, landing a few feet behind the mound. A bench-clearing brawl ensued, and Tigers manager Billy Martin had to be restrained by umpires and teammates to prevent him from going after Campaneris. Both LaGrow and Campaneries were suspended for the rest of the ALCS.
