Painting a broader perspective, Conservative Republican Hogan recalled the days of antiwar protest when bombs were erupting on college campuses and draft-board offices were burglarized. Most of those protesters, he said, "felt that because their cause was just... they were above the law. They had long hair and beards and dressed as nonconformists and desecrated the flag. Inside the White House at the same time, there was another group of men who wore well-tailored business suits, close-cropped hair, no beards and wore flag pins in their lapels... They believed that the Viet Nam War was justified... They...
Ronald V. Dellums, 38. Running for Congress in 1970, Berkeley City Councilman Dellums won votes for his antiwar stand and picked up another bundle when Spiro Agnew called him a "radical extremist." "If being an advocate of peace, justice and humanity toward all human beings is radical," he responded, "then I am a radical."

Lowell P.

By using the long-ignored power of his office-secretary of state-to implement campaign reform, he soon began making a name of his own, most recently by launching a well-publicized investigation into President Nixon's tax returns. Stiffer than his convivial father, he is nonetheless winning strong...
...Stocking Feet. Mayor Soglin's style contrasts sharply with that of the clean-cut, well-dressed and almost militarily inaccessible Dyke. Soglin, who has a habit of arguing far into the night, often shows up bleary-eyed at his office. Cartoons, antiwar slogans and newspaper clippings dot the walls around his desk; a plaque that reads HIZZONER DA MARE is on the door. Soglin often pads around his office in his stocking feet, presides over city-council meetings with a half-hidden smile that betrays his amusement at the proceedings...
