...fast, he has ended up accomplishing too little. He failed to concentrate on a few key issues such as energy and the Panama Canal treaty, and thus dissipated much of his influence. He did not build the necessary crucial bridges to Capitol Hill; nor did he have the experienced staff to help. He often seemed to bog down in detail and yet to slight the routine requirements of the job, such as sometimes twisting congressional arms.

How can a Fed chairman perform such an exquisitely difficult balancing act? Says one staff member of the Senate Banking Committee: "The answer is obvious...
...unabashed tastelessness and insensitivity. The texts accompanying his photos are reprehensible examples of a social consciousness so primitive and mordant that they should embarrass the sensitivities of this community more than they enflame the anger of the residents of the South End. As for Mr. Dalquist and the Editorial staff of The Crimson, I hope that maturity will bring a modicum of circumspection and compassion which their breeding has to date failed to produce. Robert P.
