...else seemed to want, and so, as has become his habit, Kansas Senator Robert Dole reached for it. Easily the Senate's most ambitious and aggressive freshman, Dole, 47, emerged last week as President Nixon's latest choice for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee; he is expected to be confirmed this week. At least two other men, Bryce Harlow and Donald Rumsfeld, had declined the position since late November, when Nixon announced that he would appoint the present chairman, Maryland Congressman Rogers Morton, as Secretary of the Interior...
...Dole's role thus will be that of a party spokesman rather than an organizer. Articulate and sometimes abrasive (TIME, July 6, 1970), Dole is expected to be rougher and sharper than the amiable and widely admired Morton. The difference, observed one White House aide, is that "Rog is a big old St. Bernard, while Dole is a hungry Doberman pinscher." One leading Republican offers an intriguing rationale for the switch: Morton was never as partisan as Nixon wanted, so Vice President Spiro Agnew took up the hatchet duties. Now Dole will eagerly perform them, while an attempt...
...White House are at such odds as to be virtually at war. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield refused to acknowledge that things are quite that bad, insisting that "we will continue to act responsibly." Conflicting signals came from the White House.

Vincent Dole and Marie Nyswander first started using the drug to wean addicts away from heroin. Methadone programs, which cost an average of $1,500 a year for each addict-as opposed to $5,000 to $10,000 for a year in prison -are operating in most major U.S. cities. About 10,000 of the country's estimated 200,000 heroin victims now participate in some form of methadone treatment; thousands more are waiting to enroll...
...even when combined with extensive rehabilitation programs, has met with only moderate success at best. But the majority of methadone users active in counseling programs have managed to stay off heroin. One California program has lost only four of its 54 participants since it got under way last year. Dole and Nyswander report that 82% of the first 700 enrolled in their program are still participating; 75% are either at school or working. Other programs have recorded similar results...
