...congressional leadership and such allies as Marian Wright Edelman, head of the Children's Defense Fund, did argue that signing would risk throwing children onto the street if their parents could not find jobs before their welfare benefits ran out. But such White House aides as George Stephanopoulos and Harold Ickes also developed a political case for a veto: the President would prove he was a man of principle, dedicated to helping the poor. Ickes further argued that signing would hurt Democratic congressional candidates, mostly by enabling Republicans to portray themselves as far less extremist than their opponents contended...
...hard to resist superlatives about the new Dictionary of Art, the idea for which was approved in 1980 by Harold Macmillan, the former Prime Minister of Britain and owner of the family firm of Macmillan Publishers Ltd., just after the 20-volume sixth edition of the music dictionary was published.

The year was 1936 and Alf Landon was the Republican nominee. Today, Harold Ickes, the son of the Interior Secretary, is deputy White House chief of staff. Yet, somewhere near there, the similarities end. In 1936, Franklin D. Roosevelt '04 ran for reelection and clearly delineated the choice before the American people...
...onto a new form of molecular carbon that they believed, but could not prove, had the shape of a soccer ball. Nobody is skeptical anymore. Not only has their theory been confirmed, but it has blossomed into a thriving branch of research. And last week that trio of chemists--Harold Kroto from Britain's University of Sussex, and Robert Curl and Richard Smalley from Rice University in Houston--were rewarded for their work with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry...
