...Though the Administration carried the day, the warning was sounded. The military, henceforth, would not be able to breeze through its requests for appropriations question-free. The lengthy debate that came to an end in the vote last week bore this out. "Just remember," said Oregon Republican Mark Hatfield, "this is a bill that used to slip through the Senate in hours, with no real opposition. This year it took two months...
...Scott had at least 16 of the 22 votes he needed for victory. With a strong record in favor of civil rights, the Pennsylvanian attracted virtually all of the liberal faction-New York's Jacob Javits and Charles Goodell, Kentucky's John Sherman Cooper, Oregon's Mark Hatfield, Illinois' Charles Percy, Massachusetts' Edward Brooke, and others.

He attracted some support because...
...tung's incapacitation or death would mark the end of China's most momentous era.

Their constructive role as a partner in the Grand Coalition has helped them overcome the old fears that the "Sozis" would run wild if they gained power...
...some, the choice of campuses was a question of style. "I didn't really think that I was the Vassar type," says Wesleyan Junior Mark Merlis, an exchange student at Smith. He sees himself as "a male Julie Nixon" and thus feels that he will blend easily into the Smith ambience. For others, the choice reflected parental ambitions. Krisanne Warner, a dean's list student at Bucknell last year, reluctantly applied to Yale because her mother called it "the opportunity of the decade." Krisanne won admission to Yale-succeeding where both her father and brother had failed...
