Smooth as a space satellite, precise as a computer, the 1968 Nixon-mobile whirrs around the country like a politician's dream machine. It seems, in fact, almost too automated. The candidate is seldom more than ten minutes late for an appearance. The bands strike up on cue; balloons tumble down at just the right moment. Meticulous planning schedules put the nominee at just the place where the turnout will be largest and the crowd will be the most responsive.

Each time he mounts an exhibition, he will not only have to hang the pictures on the walls but also hang the walls-movable partitions that can be suspended in any arrangement by means of wires from the roof.
