...search for the magic kernel still missing from his campaign, Stevenson picked and shucked issues like a corn husker. His big try was the H-bomb, but as he ranged across the land from New York to Illinois to California he went from H-bomb to foreign policy, to economics, the farm problem, unemployment and corruption. Sometimes he put them all together to spell NIXON. His language was harsh. "I don't mind telling you," he snapped at highly successful Democratic rallies in the New York suburbs, "I am good...
...Square Garden Tuesday night. There, before 18,000 whooping party faithful, he called Nixon "President Eisenhower's hand-picked heir," got a thunderous no from his audience when he asked if Nixon was the man to whom the U.S. wanted to entrust "the great decisions about the H-bomb."

If so, why did Bulganin come to Stevenson's side on the H-bomb issue...
...Nixon clearly saw the makings of a big Eisenhower sweep, and he was hopeful that it would be big enough to pull a Republican majority into the House of Representatives. (On the Senate he wasn't guessing.) Quick to sense the weakness of Adlai Stevenson's H-bomb proposal (it attempts to hit Eisenhower where he is strongest), Nixon set out to tie it to Democratic candidates for Congress. His challenge: "In view of the terrible danger this program presents, it is time for all candidates for national office to stand up and be counted on this issue...
