These are some of the lessons that Rich ard M. Nixon has drawn from his crisis-ridden career - and which he passes along to readers of his Six Crises, published in part by LIFE and now out in a book (Doubleday; 460 pp.; $5.95). It is a curious document. It displays at times a genuine humility - and at times a need less, naive immodesty. It provides some absorbing footnotes to recent history. It gives insight into the strange political relationship between Nixon and Eisenhower. And it tells more about Nixon than he may have intended...
...Viruses & a Microbe. Since the commonest victims of acute respiratory disease-ARD in medical jargon-are children, the PHS's vaccine program will be tailored for them. The first vaccines will be made from ten viruses-respiratory syncytial virus (the most important), three types of parainfluenza virus, six of adenovirus-and one non-viral microbe, the "Eaton agent" (TIME, Nov. 10). Together, these microbes are estimated to cause 60% of ARD cases judged to be severe enough to send most children into hospitals...
...Naysayers. Businessmen who flatly oppose the whole idea of freer trade may be a minority, but get heard. Notable among them is Colonel Willard F. Rock well, chairman of Pittsburgh's Rockwell Manufacturing Co. and Rockwell-Stand ard Corp. (pumps, valves, automotive parts and Aero Commander planes). Says he: "With high U.S. wages and raw-material costs, high taxes and low depreciation write-offs, I don't know of a single U.S. product that could compete with European industry." The nearest thing to unanimous opposition to the Kennedy program was heard among businessmen in the South - partly because...
...change in House leadership caused by the death of Speaker Sam Rayburn is another complicating factor. With Mister Sam gone, much of his power is bound to be claimed by the House committee chairmen, whose patriarchal views and parochial interests generally reflect conservative tendencies. Virginia Democrat How ard Smith, chairman of the Rules Committee, is certain to stand in the way of Administration programs. Missouri's Clarence Cannon, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, last week announced, even before he knew what was in Kennedy's budget, that he intended...
...down with a three-stage Nike Zeus rocket. All this will be automatic, and it will happen too quickly for human hand or brain to follow. To complicate the procedure still further, the Army's scientists expect the various radars to raise such an electronic racket that stand ard communication signals from Kwajalein will be drowned out. Radio messages for the outside world will first pass through a submarine cable, then be put on the air at comparatively quiet Gugeegue island...
