This was not Lyndon Johnson; Nixon would not make photographers take his "good" profile. More important, a semi-believable note of humility also began to creep into the bombast of Nixon's "united party--we're going to win" oratory...
SMALL films creep weekly in-and-out of Washington Street's huge movie palaces, one-time legitimate theatres whose vaudeville slates still hang adjacent to the vast screens now lit dimly by the beam of a projector hundreds of yards away.
