Texas: Stevenson leads, but Democrats are angrily split among liberals, moderates and conservatives. Thanks to Vice President Nixon's groundwork, Texas-born Ike has come from far behind, now rates a strong chance...
...like a corn husker. His big try was the H-bomb, but as he ranged across the land from New York to Illinois to California he went from H-bomb to foreign policy, to economics, the farm problem, unemployment and corruption. Sometimes he put them all together to spell NIXON. His language was harsh. "I don't mind telling you," he snapped at highly successful Democratic rallies in the New York suburbs, "I am good...
