...emergence to compare with Napoleon's journey out of Elban exile to try to regain France. Nor was it precisely the great soap opera of redemption that occurred in the mid-'50s when the American people decided that Ingrid Bergman, disgraced adulteress, might be restored to favor. But somewhere in the historic procession from the majestic to the trivial, one might plausibly place Richard Nixon's trip to Hyden, Ky., over the Fourth of July weekend...

Foreigners were particularly intrigued by the oil-strike rumor, which suggested to them that the U.S.'s energy problems would be eased and the dollar would regain its stature. With some $400 billion in greenbacks now in foreign hands, an overseas rush to Wall Street would send stocks up sharply.
