Some cynics assumed that a deal had been struck between Ford and Nixon in the fateful early days of August: Nixon would quit if Ford would agree to pardon him at the earliest feasible moment.

Five months ago, Hannafin, a bachelor with a law degree from Colum bia University, joined the Forty-Plus Club of New York, a nonprofit cooperative for executives and professionals who are seeking jobs. Each week four or five of the club's 130 members resign to take new jobs-but Hannafin does not know when he will become one of the lucky leavers.

...Nixon] leftists and liberals to go to hell," McLaughlin seems to bear no grudges.

Officials were hinting...
...Harvard Republican Club is probably the second largest political group at Harvard. Its main coups last year were cabling Nixon to resign earlier than most other Republicans and inviting Ford. The year before Spiro Agnew informed its delegation that he would resign if anything every shook his absolute faith in the administration's integrity, and the club was also naturally the core of the small Harvard Nixon campaign in 1972. But as a group Harvard Republicans are generally not too politically active--the cable to Nixon was pretty exceptional. Similarly, the Young Democrats, which once billed itself as the moderate...
