Normally conservative South Dakotans elected Democrat Thomas Daschle to the Senate mostly in a loud protest against federal farm policy. In the process, they opted for a dramatic generational and political change. Gray-haired James Abdnor, 63, the Republican incumbent whom Daschle defeated 52% to 48%, had been faithful to the Reagan Administration line on almost every issue. "The fighter or the follower" was how Daschle's ads portrayed the choice.

The kid must not have been following her exercise regimen...

Change comes slowly at Harvard, if at all. By drawing out decisions over many years, the administration can count on the lack of institutional memory among the annually reshuffled student body. But the demand for an end to inquisitorial bodies aimed at political protesters has been loud and clear for over 15 years. The time is long overdue for a body that will do justice to the community's concerns...
