...dissimilar contests, one result seemed certain: most voters in most places opted for calm, for reasonableness, for a cessation of domestic hostilities. Spiro Agnew, and Nixon in the final days, dispensed bitterness. The current tenor of conservatism was surely there to be exploited, but not by a narrow, harsh approach reminiscent of Nixon in the 1950s...
...President's harsh campaign line -in effect denouncing the Democrats as the party of permissiveness and charging them with being soft on violence -was typified in his Phoenix speech. In it, he leaned heavily on the incident during which his car was stoned by a mob in San Jose.

Then they disregarded the treaty a second time by denying further visits until early this week. Moscow filed a harsh complaint with the State Department, linking the incident with the Soviet Union's longstanding objections to the presence of U.S. military bases near its borders...
