McGovern perhaps is correct in criticizing the press for focusing considerable attention on his earlier staff squabbles without probing very deeply into Nixon's bland and often hermetically sealed operations. Sometimes the chaotic openness and candor of the McGovern campaign has perhaps invited stories about dissension, while the Nixon noncampaign has too often reduced reporters to press-release journalism...

I am wondering if the Harvard dining facilities could be induced to set aside a lunch or evening meal for the same effect--e.g., serve rice, or a great bland dish that can be bought, prepared, and served cheaply. I should think some five cents per person could be saved in this way, although an administration budget juggler would probably call me naive.

In his first 18 months in office, the red-haired former professor, 42, has made remarkable progress. Ralph Nader, who recommended Denenberg for the job, predicts that he will be "the most outstanding commissioner that the country has ever had." Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp, who is often overshadowed by his headline-making employee, tells audiences jestingly: "You may not know me, but I'm the guy who brought Herb Denenberg to Harrisburg...
