With 93% of the unofficial count in, Nixon had 29,565,052 (43%); Hubert Humphrey, 29,539,500 (43%); and George Wallace, 9,181,466 (13%).

He has little patience with historians who insist that "objective reality" exists, that it alone determines human action, and that if only we can count all the railroad ties and piglets in a country we shall know what it is. "Numerology" is what he calls the most zealous, usually American, attempts to demonstrate wie es eigentlich gewesen war.
