"I think there will be a very positive andcooperative spirit and attitude," Senate MajorityLeader George J. Mitchell said on ABC's "GoodMorning America."
The hard facts suggest that Mitchell may be right. A look at the 42 Government Department professors' political affiliations shows a marked trend toward the left. At least 13 government professors are registered Democrats in Massachusetts; as few as two are registered Republicans.
Probably not, Mitchell says. He likens Harvard's government department--and colleges in general--to one of Vice President Dan Quayle's favorite targets, the media elite.
Harvard-issue cultural elites are fine as individuals, Mitchell says. "The problem comes in when they use their positions to advocate their political views."
Even Mitchell--whose job security depends on the conservatism of students, professors and everyone else--isn't worried about brainwashing.
