...once promised a wide range of populist reforms, including revisions of the tax and welfare systems, has been a great disappointment to many voters. He has presided over one of the worst outbreaks of inflation in American history (currently 13%, the highest since price controls were lifted at the end of World War II), and now, in an attempt to control that inflation, he is supporting policies that have caused the prime interest rate to rise to unprecedented levels (currently as much as 15¼%).

...time has come to put an end to all the idle speculation. In the throes of the worst Harvard football season since 1950, potentially the poorest in the program's 105-year history, we need some conflict, some fervor, some faith. And the simple introduction of a new mascot could prompt such a spiritual lift...
