...Right must use Reagan as a scapegoat, says Weyrich, it will. Similarly, if Charles Grassley, Stephen Symms, Jeremiah Denton, or James Abdnor, the stars of the conservative Senate class of 1980, give in to the temptress Moderation during their first two years on the Hill, "we and they are in deep trouble," says Weyrich. At that point, Weyrich would "just look for new people for 1982, who are not connected to the others." He emphasizes the strength of the movement's ideological base: "The public apparently buys our position. Above all else we have to stick to that...

Culver's opponents have had several tiffs over money from outside the state--Grassley has pleaded guilty to taking NCPAC funds, but he asks, with some justification, why that's any worse than accepting cash from the coffers of Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), a group that has swollen Culver's war chest. More than his embattled liberal colleagues, Culver has refused to yield on his progressive record, insisting he's satisfied with his stand on the issues. Perhaps as a result, Iowa's election may be less of a referendum on the question of outside interference and more...
