Said Dulles, "I do not think it wise that current aspects of foreign policy should be injected in the campaign." Dulles added specifically that Nixon's Chicago statement "might fit without the limits which I hope both sides would observe." Later Dulles phoned Nixon to explain that he had not meant to be critical, next day put out a confusing statement that Nixon was only replying to Democratic criticisms and "in those circumstances I fully concurred in the need for that...

Again, Chamberlain has no time for the formal political rallies on which many candidates depend. "I think rallies are useless," he says. "The people who show up at rallies are already on my side, and I'm just plowing the same field over again. I have to spend my time just talking with people, one by one." Laying out his campaign, Chamberlain figures that he can meet and talk to some 200 voters a day and, allowing for 50 days of active campaigning from Labor Day to Election Day, reach 10,000 people...
