Hitch's biggest initial handicap is that he is a relatively unknown quantity to students and faculty. "Before his name came up," said Allan Mann, editor of U.C.L.A.'s Daily Bruin, "99% of us had never heard of him." Yet U.C.L.A. Student Government President Joseph Rubinstein considered it "a healthy sign that the regents have chosen an administrator-now we'll get things done." A faculty advisory committee reported that it was "happy" about the selection. No stranger to contentious factions in Government, Hitch has little apprehension of the potential frictions he will have to contend with...
...tumbled into the murder business by accident; he isn't crass enough for silk scarves and tophats to look appropriately ridiculous on him. Ralph Meeker, his Irish contender, is more like a gangster. His grubby soul shines right through his lovely suit. George Segal, another Irishman, has Robards handicap-elemental elegance. On top of that, he bears such an incredible resemblance to Robards that when you see him dealing with the other Irishmen, you're sure it's Al baby in disguise, pulling a fast one on his rivals.

...Republican Party's glamorous Governors R-Romney, Reagan and Nelson Rockefeller-bulk big in all talk about 1968. Along with their various assets, however, each of the three has a serious handicap or two: Romney ("hasn't fire," Mormon); Reagan ("too conservative," "too inexperienced"); Rockefeller (party regulars don't like him, divorce).

As a matter of fact, the Republicans have three of these too. They are Washington's Daniel Evans...
...Killian Jr., chairman of the M.I.T. Corporation; Frederick Seitz, president of the National Academy of Sciences; Emilio Segrè, Berkeley's Nobel Laureate in physics; Athelstan Spilhaus, former dean of the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology. That kind of backing helped Winstead overcome a handicap of most new schools: lack of accreditation. Impressed by the credentials of Nova's advisers, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools advised Washington that Nova should qualify for federal funds...
Riding Ada L. Rice's Advocator in the $83,700 Grey Lag Handicap at New York's Aqueduct race track six weeks ago, he was grounded for 15 days after he veered sharply in the stretch and blocked three other horses. Advocator won by 1¼ lengths, but was disqualified by the stewards-costing Owner Rice $54,405. Two weeks ago, Ycaza earned another 15-day suspension from New Jersey stewards for rough riding aboard William L. McKnight's three-year-old colt, Dr. Fager, in the $119,200 Jersey Derby at Garden State Park. Going into...
