...Political partisanship (among the Faculty) would not be a factor" in deciding whether or not to re-tenure Kissinger, Mansfield said yesterday...

That's a remarkable change from the suspiciousness and acrimony of the Nixon-Agnew days. Perhaps the low amount of partisanship in the country kept such accusations from being heard.
