...splendid serenity of Camp David on Sept. 27, Nixon allowed the partisan and the tough infighter to reappear. Meeting with Republican legislative and party leaders, he declared that he did not intend to be the first American President to lose a war (see story page 17). He railed against those who would "bug out." He talked of the crucial nature of the next "couple of months."

For some unexplained reason, the 268 votes that joined to amend the Moratorium resolution couldn't get together to call a recess-the obvious strategy for avoiding a formal vote.
