i.e., when a question was not present within a form or wave. Rs

like about [Democratic Presidential candidate]?" have been coded 
here as 0 mentions; Rs coded DK or NA in response have also been 
coded here as 0 mentions.  In addition, Rs who responded "yes" 
BUT who provided no mentions (DK or NA in first mention) have 
been coded 0. Democratic Presidential Candidates: Stevenson 1952,
