...Robert Dole of Kansas, was not even Richard Nixon's second choice for G.O.P. national chairman. But he ingratiated himself with the White House as an effective sniper, and since his appointment this January, the upstart Senate freshman has earned a reputation as the Administration's No. 1 gunslinger. In a season when the President has chosen to lower his partisan profile, Dole has stepped into the breach as party defender and cheerleader, spraying shot and zapping Democrats with Agnewesque zeal...
...sure, the Vice President, currently in the statesman-like pose of revenue-sharing salesman, has not completely abandoned polemics (see THE PRESS). Dole insists that he is not trying to replace Agnew as what he calls "the No. 1 chopper and gut cutter." Yet in a sense, he is the new Agnew...

But if students seriously desire an eventual voting role, they must recognize that a "gradualist approach" is essential and they must make it work-no faculty at Harvard is going to dole out its privileges to persons who have not first proved themselves to be potentially responsible voting members. In many ways, the Law School has become a testing ground for the rest of the University-the faculty should, in consideration of this, at least give the Governance Committee's interesting, and essentially harmless, recommendations...
