...present transition marks the first orderly passing of the baton in a number of years, Rosovsky points out. The last dean of the Faculty, John E. Dunlop, accepted a post in the Nixon Administration and left on short notice in 1973.

As Nixon, who built his political career on his role in the Hiss case, Peter Riegert (who starred in the film Local Hero) maintains a steady scowl but avoids facile parody...

The article quotes Nixon Administration staffer Charles Colson as saying of Richardson, "When we needed somebody to say George McGovern was a scatterbrain, Elliot went right our and swatted...
