Nixon's apparent offer of carte blanche to the Administration whose policies he has so roundly criticized did, however, raise several questions. What if Johnson begins serious negotiations with the Russians over arms control? Nixon, after all, is on record as favoring such negotiations only after the U.S. improves its military posture. What if Johnson promises the Communists something that Nixon is not prepared to give in order to achieve peace in Viet Nam? It would be Nixon who would have to live with the arrangement...

Instead of extraordinary experience or bigger than life tragedy, there are pathetic vignettes about totally unexplained but quite believeable people. In place of the complete involvement of constructed suspense, there is the uneventful yet amusing commonplace. It is reality...
