...Aldrich Rockefeller explain his political outlook during his confirmation hearings for Vice President in 1974. The words also summed up his whole political career, from his apprenticeship under a Democratic Administration to his four terms as New York Governor to his last moments in the limelight during a brief stint as Vice President. He truly loved problems and, with an exuberant confidence that few politicians could match, he thought he could solve most of them. Not singlehanded: he delighted in leading and managing people, all kinds of people. Again and again, he urged his rather narrowly based Republican Party...

His teams improved in a geometric progression, going from 4-22 in 1974-75, to 8-17, to 16-10. Last year Columbia finished...
SENATOR Moynihan does not just relate intrigues in this, his record of his controversial stint as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. He launches a rhetorical broadside. It is the same argument he made in the 1975 Commentary article, "The U.S. in Opposition," that vaulted him into the U.N. post; and he is writing here, not just to defend his performance at the U.N., but to reassert the principles upon which it was based. His appeal, then and now, is for a tough-minded confrontation--sleeves up, American style--between American liberalism, a force Moynihan sees as more and more...
