...charges are true--Nicholson's two attorneys, Jonathan Shapiro and Liam O'Grady, say their client will fight them vigorously--then Nicholson would have been either a very cool customer or a weirdly reckless one; maybe both. He allegedly went to work for the Russians just as the CIA was in an uproar over Ames, the most important mole ever discovered within the agency. On the basis of information Ames provided over almost nine years of betrayal, Moscow executed at least 10 Soviets working secretly for American intelligence. Anger and embarrassment led the agency to swear it would never happen...
...Bankrupt" (Editorial, November 18). It was a well-written opinion that succintly captures the dilemma confronting all students here, especially seniors. However, when discussing the attitudes of Harvard students toward corporate professions, she seems to ignore the expectations that accompany the Harvard name. She writes that here it is "cool" to disdain those who enter corporate fields as greedy. I submit that if this is so, it is in large part because most of us face intense pressure to entere these "suitable" fields.

There was longtime confidant Mari Maseng Will, a tall, genteel woman who had a real feel for what voters cared about. There was Bill Lacy, a buttoned-down Marylander and trusted Dole aide who would run strategy and message. There was a veteran G.O.P. fieldman named Tom Synhorst, who had managed Dole's winning...
...decisions were made by default. When Will brought in press secretary Nelson Warfield, who had worked in Ron Lauder's unsuccessful 1989 New York City mayoral campaign, Dole met with him for all of seven minutes--and then pronounced him O.K. For campaign manager, Lacy selected Scott Reed, a cool bureaucrat who had no ties to Dole but who had run the Republican National Committee for Haley Barbour. Reed had to be persuaded that Dole would let the campaign manager actually manage the campaign. By the time Dole locked up the nomination, every member of the original family except...
