Richard Milhous Nixon, 54, hardly fits that description, but he is the man who is best equipped to unite the party.

...autumn the BGMA officers found an organization that seemed to combine just what they required--professional bargainers, trade identity preservation, and AFL-CIO affiliation. This organization, ponderously named the Boston Crafts Maintenance Council, had an extra bonus since it would permit the old BGMA members to preserve some of their former autonomy...
