...friend Harold Macmillan (see FOREIGN NEWS). And perhaps the most satisfying event of the week was a visit from another friend of the U.S., Mexico's President López Mateos (see HEMISPHERE). Last year, after returning from his tempestuous visit to Latin America, Vice President Nixon recommended that the U.S. distinguish more clearly among the breeds of neighboring national leaders, offer only a cool handshake to dictators but warmly embrace democratically chosen chiefs of state. When López Mateos arrived at Washington's National Airport, the President was there and, symbolic of the increasingly friendly relationship...
...second in the two-entry space race. And in high-level Washington last week, there still were no detectable signs of urgency about the U.S.'s space lag. The President, his advisers reported, was convinced that the U.S. space effort must be kept "within reason." Vice President Richard Nixon assured a press conference that the nation's space effort was "moving along at a reasonably good pace." Herbert F. York, the Defense Department's director of research and engineering, dismissed the Soviet lead in the space race as "more a question of acute embarrassment than national survival...
...cookers on the floodlit high-school football field in Rochester, Ind. (pop. 5,000) as "Charley Halleck Day" sizzled to a close with an old-fashioned fish fry. Heading the well-wishers of Republican House Leader Halleck on his silver anniversary in Congress was touring Vice President Richard M. Nixon.

That relationship never became completely clear...
Politics Bypassed. On the threshold of the presidential election year, Nixon has some well formulated plans. For as long as he can, he would like to appear before the voters, not as an active, partisan candidate, but rather as Vice President of all the U.S. He would even prefer not to announce his candidacy during the early-bird New Hampshire primary next March, but he may be forced to if New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller files against him. Until then, Nixon will continue to project himself as a national leader who has dealt and can continue to deal...
...Nixon strategy was plainly in evidence last week. Time and again he made such remarks as "In my various conversations with Mr. Khrushchev . . ." and "As Khrushchev said to me . . ." In Illinois for the dedication of the University of Chicago's new $4,100,000 law center, Nixon urged, as he had before, that the rule of law be brought more decisively into international affairs; bypassing the opportunity to talk politics with Illinois Republicans, Nixon spent nearly all his spare time in his hotel room, working on a carefully nonpartisan speech, which he delivered at midweek at the CENTO conference...
