There is a vacuum in the nation's leadership, and once Richard Milhous Nixon takes the oath of office next week to become the 37th President of the U.S., there will not be much time before he must act to fill it. Still, like most of his predecessors, he starts his term with the good will and high expectations of his fellow citizens.

Just as we fill our jails with those who transgress the legal order, so we partly fill our asylums with those who act unsuitably-the first kind of institution being used to protect our lives and property; the second, to protect our gatherings and occasions...
