...idea, Nixon told the Senators, was really not withdrawal at all, when the fine print was examined. Though more than 200,000 ground combat troops would be taken out by the end of 1970 under the Clifford plan, about 300,000 men in ground, air and naval support units would remain indefinitely thereafter. Without infantry protection, they would be prey to the enemy, totally dependent on South Vietnamese units. This approach is unacceptable to Nixon on both military and political grounds. The implication was that, except perhaps for token remnants, the Nixon plan amounted to total withdrawal. As word...
...Administration, and he thus incurred obligations that he might later find burdensome. Nor is Senate approval of the tax extension by any means certain. A Senate majority probably cannot be collected unless comprehensive tax reform is coupled with the surtax. Nixon was compelled to promise support for a reform bill this year, but whether a combined bill acceptable to all factions in both houses and the Administration can be worked out quickly is another matter. The temporary extension of the surtax expires July...
Dent's first step toward Nixon's inner circle came during the Miami convention when he abandoned his original support of Ronald Reagan and helped Thurmond keep the South's delegates in line behind Nixon.

The responsibility for the base passed to a South Vietnamese commander, Marine Colonel Nguyen Ba Lien of the 24th Special Tactical Zone. In accord with the U.S. policy of continuing to provide fire support for South Vietnamese ground forces, 500 American artillerymen remained dug in at key points in and around Ben Het. The biggest U.S. concentration was at Dak To, ten miles to the east, where 500 American combat engineers were also stationed...
...United States. It was an occasion of ceremony and speechmaking. Richard Nixon was there to watch Warren Earl Burger, the man he had named as Warren's successor, take his oath of office. But the President put in an appearance for another reason: to offer symbolic support to an institution that he himself had attacked so harshly during last year's election campaign. Emphasizing the court's importance as an instrument of "continuity with change," Nixon praised Warren for having personified "fairness, integrity and dignity" during his 16 years as Chief Justice. In his valedictory reply, delivered...
