...vigorous dissent from the President's kind of above-the-battle political leadership. "There has developed in recent years," said Nixon in Salt Lake City, "the unsound idea that hard-hitting debate on the issues which confront the country is somehow wrong and detrimental to the best interests of the nation.

Richard Nixon called this "an unsound idea" ("one of the reasons the Republican party is in trouble today") and insisted on the opposite policy. John Foster Dulles took turns agreeing with both and then issued a "clarification" showing that...
