Rougemont, Feb. 24—A month or so before George Wallace confirmed that he would run for President on a third party ticket, the right-wing weekly journal Human Events published the results of a poll of what it described as “two hundred prominent conservatives.” The poll unearthed a “surprising hostility towards George Wallace.” Why?— I asked him a few weeks ago.

GW: Well, Mr. Buckley said that two-hundred prominent conservatives—that’s typical of those who write in magazines —who are these prominent conservatives?
