An ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT broadcast live with moderator Frank Reynolds.
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.
