Party Leadership: President Eisenhower's longstanding reluctance to dramatize the record of the Republican Administration in political terms left the G.O.P. leaderless and disorganized, while the Democrats built up a two-to-one organizational lead in volunteer workers across the U.S. Then Vice President Richard Nixon set off on his no-stop campaign trip, gave state and local G.O.P. leaders the spark they needed.

Nixon left it to his staff to set up a breakfast date at 7:45 next morning, let it be known that he was delaying his scheduled departure from New York to keep the date. The upshot: Nixon and Rockefeller got together for breakfast (oatmeal for Nixon...
