...years ago, the National Conservative Political Action Committee was the scourge of the left, spending at least $1.2 million to help sweep away such liberal luminaries as Senators Frank Church, Birch Bayh, John Culver and George McGovern. Scenting total victory, NCPAC Chairman Terry Dolan immediately announced a 1982 hit list of 20 Senators, including such improbable targets as Pat Moynihan of New York and Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. Political realities eventually shrank the list to five, but NCPAC still raised $10 million and spent $4.5 million in the 1982 elections. Yet last week, for all its thunder, the New Right...
...post-election press conference, New Right leaders blamed a "flawed strategy in the White House" for their failure. "This could have been a year of conservative realignment," lamented Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus.

Moreover, since NCPAC is not affiliated with a candidate, it is less accountable for the tone and content of its campaign. As NCPAC Chairman Terry Dolan has admitted, "A group like ours could lie through its teeth, and the candidate it helps stays clean." NCPAC played a loud but indefinite role in the defeat of four liberal Senators in 1980, but since then it has waned in power if not in dollars...
...good news was that an Allard keeper off right tackle picked up three yards and the first down. The bad news, though no one was aware of it at the time, turned out to be that the helmet of Cornell safety Tim Dolan smashed into Allard's left collarbone, bruising it so badly that the early words trickling into the press box were that Allard had a broken shoulder...
