Nixon's November 3 Vietnam speech still might shatter that ultimate dream. If, as the press has speculated, the President proposes a unilateral cease-fire or the withdrawal of 250,000 combat troops by the end of 1970, probably no amount of local canvassing can convince Middle America that the end of the war isn't near.
