...problems are growing pains, but they promise to be permanent. Given the current financial and political climate, Harvard is destined to generate the same negative side-effects with every expansionist move. The University ought seriously to reconsider its commitment to expansion, and by implication, to equal admissions. A more prudent course would be to curtail expansion until a more auspicious time. To compensate for curtailing growth, male enrollment should be cut to make room for more women.

But the Watergate incident, the ITT case, and the grain deal (even presuming, as is commonplace nowadays, that these are as sinister as the Democrats charge) are not the stuff of a winning campaign. Nor are McGovern's charges that Nixon is our trickiest President particularly damning...
