...Richard Milhous Nixon loves Spiro Theodore Agnew, warts and all. But why? With all his vituperative attacks on the Viet Nam Moratorium. Agnew has violated the President's Inauguration Day dictum to speak softly. He has incurred a bad press and shortened some congressional tempers. Certainly. But those who have been most offended are in the main liberals, who are down on the Administration anyway. As Republican National Committee Chairman Rogers Morton said: "I think he's helping us more than hurting...
FINALLY, it was over. The apprenticeship in high places, the eight years of anxious exile in which he could only wonder if the chance would ever come again, the final months of combat, triumph and preparation anew?all that was behind Richard Milhous Nixon.

...many ways, Hubert Horatio Humphrey and Richard Milhous Nixon embody the cherished old ideals. They are "achieving Americans," men from modest Main Street beginnings who, through ambition and ability, rose to the U.S. Senate and to a place at the right hand of a President. Even when the easy life became available to them, it could not lure them from the burdens ?and ambitions?of public service...
