        Some people feel that the government in Washington should see to it   
        that every person has a job and a good standard of living.  (1972-    
        1978): Suppose these people are at one end of a scale, at point       
        1).  Others think the government should just let each person get ahead
        on his/their own. (1972-1978: Suppose these people are at the other   
        end, at point 7.  And, of course, some other people have opinions     
        somewhere in between, at pints 2,3,4,5 or 6.)

        Rs who responded "DK," NA or "haven't thought much about it" to self-
