...jovial professor of Science A-35: "Matter in the Universe" said he was not as excited by the rivalry as were some of his colleagues because he taught at the University of Michigan for 10 years...
Forty-two hours into the run, however, Dole was almost out of gas. After rolling through a Michigan truck stop, a Newark, New Jersey, diner and a Philadelphia nightclub, he found himself in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Saturday, free-associating at a noontime rally--from Eisenhower to the war on drugs, from flag burning to Indogate, from partial-birth abortion to Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

When Bob Dole belabored Bill Clinton over a rise in youth drug use, the numbers supported him: a University of Michigan study shows that in 1995, 16% of eighth-graders had used marijuana and 2.6% cocaine. Figures for 12th-graders were 35% and 4%; all were significant jumps over 1991 rates (though far below rates in the late 1970s...
