...women and therefore, by definition, are sexist, a gradual integration of women into the clubs is a good and necessary thing. However, now is not the time for those pseudo-idealists who profess a fundamental "opposition" to all the world's evils, to jump on the Pi Ett condemnation bandwagon in order to "expose" harmful sexism campus-wide. Such a move is not constructive. Instead, let the outrageous act stand alone as an example and a lesson for the Harvard community...
...most influential print analyst, David Broder of the Washington Post, wrote of the early results Tuesday evening that Hart "kept his bandwagon rolling as the music continued to fade for his rivals." A few paragraphs later, he referred to Mondale's "crippled campaign." That stinging reference was dropped by the final edition, after vote tallies came in, and Hart's "bandwagon" was redefined as being limited to New England.

Political Strategist Pat Caddell, who is advising Hart, anticipated such a situation early this year: "[If you] come in a surprise second in Iowa and on that momentum win New Hampshire . . . there's probably not enough time for the party establishment to regroup and counterattack effectively [before Super Tuesday...
Fixed sentencing "is a simplex solution to a complex problem," says Paul Young, a spokesman for the New York parole board. "Everybody's jumping on the bandwagon, but nobody's looking down the road." The lesson, however, is not quite that nothing changes, nothing works. New York could learn from the experience of California and other states. Minnesota, for instance, has immunized itself against the crime-of-the-week syndrome with its much admired Sentencing Guidelines Commission, which is independent of the legislature...
