...favor with the Reagan camp in 1980, and in the next year he was made chief negotiator for the INF talks, giving him an opportunity to become part of the solution again. A number of proponents of arms control hailed the appointment, including some who had felt the sting of Nitze's denunciatory passion.

Though his Senate record sustains his claims of being sensitive to the needy, he is still haunted by the image he earned as Gerald Ford's hatchet-wielding running mate in 1976. Even New Hampshire voters, whose closest encounter with Dole...
