...following day Anderson took out after Kleindienst in his column. The Attorney General-designate, he charged, had lied outright last year when he denied-in reply to a letter from Democratic National Committee Chairman Lawrence O'Brien-any connection between the convention cash and the antitrust settlement and insisted that neither he nor Mitchell had played any role in the department's negotiations with ITT. On the contrary, Anderson wrote, Kleindienst had in fact held several meetings on the case with ITT Director Felix Rohatyn before the settlement was reached...
Americans have also watched their once-hallowed principle of governmental nonintervention in the marketplace give way under the pressure of a depression to wide acceptance of New Deal intervention. Outright regulation of wages and prices remained a blasphemy to be endured only in wartime -until Richard Nixon abandoned one of his own political creeds and abruptly imposed controls.

...flavor. To critics it has long seemed nothing but a gigantic gambling game; in his 1896 Cross of Gold speech, William Jennings Bryan grumbled about "the man who goes on the Board of Trade and bets on the price of grain."

I mean, who indeed would've thunk it, this kind of thing might end up giving propples a good name...
...James Rippe '69, the potter who initiated and now heads the program. "We're providing a high-quality studio arts program for everyone in the Harvard community. Despite a lot of rhetoric, the University has done almost nothing to support the practicing arts." The University's attitude curtails--by outright neglect--the amazing student interest in creating something tangible, a clear by-product of pottery work. For students interested in experiencing art firsthand rather than through the work of others, a deep frustration exists over the lack of Harvard facilities and programs...
