Broad Dismay. Howard ("Bo") Callaway, President Ford's former campaign manager, said Nixon had "shown a contriteness that I had not expected." To Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Rick Shelby, Nixon was "candid and forthright about the mistakes he obviously made. We saw a side of Nixon we'd never seen before." Norfolk Tavern Owner Foster Strickland summed up the mixed feelings: "If he had a flat tire, I'd stop and help him fix it, but I don't think I would ever vote...

But a President who came to office after scandals forced his predecessor to resign-and who has so far come through to voters as a man of honesty and decency-cannot afford to wait for the final verdict on Bo's boo-boos...
