Other so called doves share the responsibility, especially those who were re-elected overwhelmingly on dove platforms: Kennedy, Muskie, Fulbright, Hart, Nelson, Hatfield, McGovern, Proxmire, Cooper, Hartke, Magnuson, Bayh, Saxbe and others. The must know it is not enough to give speeches against the war and cling tenaciously to a few plaudits for voting yes on the McGovern-Hatfield amendment...
...students have exhausted their resources against the war and are now devising new methods. Liberal Senator can rightly be asked "Just what can you do to stop this war and exactly how much have you done?" The list of so-called dove senators includes most major contenders for the democratic presidential nomination in 1972.

Ellen Berman's sensitive Ethel Merman-like portrayal of the Blessed Mother is one of the strengths of the show.

...ROBERT DRINAN. While the Boston working-class neighborhoods went for conservative Mrs. Hicks, the suburbs sent to Congress a Jesuit priest who is an outspoken dove. The Rev. Robert Drinan, 49, will become the second priest ever to serve in Congress.* Drinan's antiwar campaign sagged after a primary victory over a longtime Democratic incumbent, and in the closing days he turned to economic issues to rescue his race. Drinan relied on a corps of youthful volunteers and smoothly ran a computerized campaign to fulfill the hopes of a catchy election-night placard that read OUR FATHER...
