Old Problem

What do people regard as the chief problem confronting the U.S. today? Pollster George Gallup asked the question across the country and got the same answer he had got ten years ago--staying out of the big war with Russia. Completed after the Soviet missile announcement and before the school-integration issue got into the headlines, the Gallup survey produced this box score of concerns:
