...rule changes may not even affect the size of Dr. Davis's program. For one thing, if requirements for eligibility were raised, those students who met the stiffer standards might be far more likely to actually accept Sophomore Standing. In addition, raising the standards might simply encourage more students to take an additional A.P. course in high school without materially affecting the size of Harvard's program...
Waite, who organized this ICCH/4 conference, might be computer-classified in the "skinny, mild-mannered, wears glasses, enthusiastic" subset of the "professor" category. He likes computers so much that he bought an array of Hewlett-Packard hardware (central processing unit, disc drive, digital tape unit, hardcopy printer, typesetter) with his own money. He set the rig up in his house, and he helps pay off the $70,000 cost by running a one-man computer typesetting business on the side. Waite's machines are on display at the conference.

Next year 24 of them are up for re-election out of the 34 seats at stake, and many are the kind of liberals who went down to defeat in 1978. It is even conceivable that the G.O.P. might win control of the Senate in 1980 or '82. Democrats have such recurring nightmares as finding Strom Thurmond the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, while the current chairman, Kennedy, becomes merely the ranking minority member...
...there's nothing there." Once Kennedy is forced to start speaking out on the issues, his support is almost sure to fall off. His current dazzling charisma is obscuring for the moment his liberal views, which could alienate moderates and conservatives when they become better known. Conversely, Kennedy might antagonize his liberal supporters if he starts taking more conservative positions in keeping with the national mood. Though he has championed deregulation and revision of the U.S. criminal code, he is to the left of the Administration and the country on many issues. He remains strongly committed to such ambitious...
