For all his fall campaigning at home and his ventures abroad to Tokyo, Seoul and Vladivostok, Ford did not seem quick to assert the firm and imaginative leadership that the U.S. so badly needed.

Stein's rosy interpretations of the most dismal economic news have become a Washington joke. Less humorous was Stein's decision to deliver blatantly political speeches during the 1972 presidential race. Stein's electioneering irritated influential congressional Democrats and made it difficult for the Administration to get a fair hearing for its policies...
