SENATOR ROBERT DOLE, 49, suffers because of the position he held when scandal erupted: chairman of the Republican National Committee. He also joined the chorus of protest against early press exposes of Watergate. But during the campaign he fought many a gallant losing battle with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President; in fact it was he who dubbed it CREEP.

On departing, Dole took a final swipe at his tormentors. "They seem...
...report that may please feminists but is hardly calculated to make the President happy. Titled "Work in America," the study delves into one of the problems Nixon faces in unraveling the snarled skein of welfare: Since Nixon favors some sort of "workfare" program for the able-bodied on the dole, at what point should welfare mothers be required to seek outside employment...
