For the Record

■ Better left unsaid: George McGovern to a UAW local in Lordstown, Ohio, commenting on the “Watergate Affair” (the attempted bugging of the Democratic National Committee), the incident “is the kind of thing you expect under a person like Hitler . . . [and I intend] to ask brother Nixon about it.” . . . McGovern campaign aide Gary Hart: “Women don’t have the experience or the ability to organize. . . . Do you lower your standards in the midst of a campaign like in the midst of brain surgery to try and equalize social ills?” . . . Ramsey Clark, trying to answer a sharp question by Rita Hauser, co-chairman of the Committee To Re-Elect the President and former U.S. delegate to the UN: “You don’t learn everything in that big glass building on 42nd St.” (There go the World Federalists—and anyway it’s the wrong address.)

■ Actions they’re learning to regret: Those pro-Arab, anti-Israeli ads that Rick Stearns, then student bigwig, now the McGovern campaign director in the West, took in a number of newspapers back in 1967. . . . This year’s National Student Association Conference at Catholic University in Washington had wide spectrum of speakers: Dr. George Wiley of National Welfare Rights Organization, Congressman Ronald Dellunis, Sens. Eagleton and Harris, Ralph Nader, Tom Hayden and Gloria Steinem.
