In fact, said an Agnew aide, "We have a constituency of one to please and we wouldn't be doing this unless we were told to do so by the man." The aide said Nixon ordered Agnew to continue the assault. Agnew spent three days last week honing an anti-Moratorium address for a Republican fund-raising dinner in Harrisburg, Pa.

But with his new powers, Mollenhoff, 48, is a still fiercer hunter. There is even a rumor making the rounds that the lawyer-journalist-investigator will be J. Edgar Hoover's successor as FBI chief. "If I have made some people...
...expert in sub rosa dealings with Democrats, Scott is an acerbic infighter who means to do open partisan battle from his new front-row desk on the Senate aisle that divides the two parties. "I'm more of a militant," says Scott. "I've drawn a little white line down the middle aisle...
