KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR WILL HARTENSTEIN greets former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole during an open house at the Dole Institute of Politics. Dole is on a three-day, 10-city tour in his home state this week. See the photo gallery at LJWorld.com. KANSAS UNIVERSITY student Quinn Ried and KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little laugh at a comment by former Sen. Dole at the Dole Institute. Dole fielded questions and greeted well-wishers during Tuesday’s event.
“Hopefully, and we pray it’ll be settled by then, but what do we do with Iran if they have nuclear weapons,” he continued. “And what do we do in Syria? There’ll be a lot of foreign policy challenges.” But Dole also showed he still has the sharp wit and self-deprecating humor that once made him a favorite on Sunday morning talk shows.
