...Pray. Hughes' approach to issues is often not exactly to lowans' taste. His advocacy of a bombing halt in North Viet Nam does not sit too well with Hawkeye State voters. Even placid Iowa is concerned about law and order. Stanley stresses law enforcement, "including civil rights laws," while Hughes underlines justice as a prerequisite. Nevertheless, lowans like their Governor's forthright ways, and this works in Hughes' favor. "I mainly talk from my gut," says Hughes. His often ragged syntax bears witness to a formal education that ended after a year of college...
...problem is that Saville took Christopher Plummer along on the trip. Plummer is simply not up to Oedipus. For one thing, he has a bad habit of punctuating his lines with portentous pauses that have no connection with either sense or cadence. A more serious failure is his foothills approach to the part-he neither climbs high enough at the beginning nor falls low enough at the end. Plummer as King of Thebes is arrogant rather than hubristic; his fate seems more like a matter of just deserts than a result of the awesome machinations of Apollo...

But it is difficult to assess the real meaning of his plan as Nixon expounds it--or the importance the candidate genuinely attaches to it in a year when every presidential aspirant is required to produce some kind of "solution...
Although Agnew does not refer to "Marxists" on campus anymore, he still assures crowds that a Nixon administration will put down by force even the mildest forms of civil disobedience. Predictably, the head of the GOP's ticket uses a softer approach to win applause at rallies. "Remember, I believe in our young people," Richard Nixon says. "They're great. Give 'em a chance." But Nixon accepts Agnew's remarks about protests, and the clear warning in his remarks is that any students who disappoint him by disrupting a university deserve to be punished...
This hard-line approach to student demonstrations reflects the overwhelming sentiment of Republicans in Congress. Last May the House was shocked when it seemed possible that Columbia might show some leniency to students revolting against the distant and authoritarian administration. A Republican legislator, Louis C. Wyman of New Hampshire, moved to deny federal scholarships, loans, or other aid to any students who participated in a campus protest. Only a few Northern Democrats opposed...
