Some Republican strategists, including an editorial writer at the conservative National Review, have begun to wonder whether ousting Nixon might not be the only way to save the party's chances in 1976.

Nixon is cool to Agnew, and Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman disliked him, but Agnew presented himself to the public as a 200% rooter for the team. That will be hard to live down...
