In refusing to debate, Nixon is heeding the traditional wisdom-that as the front runner he would risk losing more than he could possibly gain. He is also recalling his unhappy experience in 1960.

Twice, in fact, Pell weakens his case by comparing ROTC to other professional disciplines--medicine, law, and business--which Harvard, except for a handful of accounting, engineering, and pre-med courses...
