        There is much discussion about the best way to deal with racial
        problems.

        Some people think achieving racial integration of schools is so
        important that it justifies busing children to schools out of their
        own neighborhoods.
        Others think letting children go to their neighborhood schools is so
        important that they oppose busing.

        Where would you place the Democratic party {on this scale}?  (7-POINT
        SCALE SHOWN TO R)
