...rhetorical masterpiece, but it sounded a counterpoint to Nixon's injudicious remark about youthful "bums" and Vice President Agnew's continual assaults on dissenters. The response sent Nixon off to California warmed to the core. If he is lucky, some of the good feeling may last even after he returns to Washington early next week. In the meantime, there is somber business to attend to-even in the California sunshine. This week the President will deliver a written report on Cambodia timed to coincide with his June 30 deadline for the removal of U.S. troops, and he will...

In the give-and-take of his press conference, Nixon overstated the certainty of South Vietnamese withdrawal and of the termination of U.S. support. The remark took some of his subordinates by surprise. The equivocations since then have been designed to retreat somewhat from that firm statement...
