When Nixon took to train travel, reporters soon learned that they should dash back to their cars when he introduced his wife Pat, because that meant the train would pull out in exactly 60 seconds. Pat was introduced without fail at every meeting, usually as ''the best campaigner in the Nixon family." While that was a pardonable overstatement, efficient, proper Pat Nixon is indeed a good campaigner.

On the morning of April 25, 1915, 60,000 Allied troops headed toward the Dardanelles peninsula in the first great amphibious land assault of modern times. In an age when armored landing craft were practically unknown, British, French and Anzacs went ashore in a flotilla of paddle steamers, trawlers, yachts and river tugs.
