Painfully mauled in 1958, the California G.O.P. needed a ticket leader like Nixon, who boosted 22 new Republicans into Congress last November while narrowly losing the presidency.

After checking in at the ticket counter, the passenger goes to the proper loading gate, which is really the wide doorway into the lounge. The lounge (54 ft. long, 17½ ft. high and 16 ft. wide) has comfortable chairs, tinted windows, piped-in music and air conditioning. At take-off time, it is driven to the waiting plane parked on the runway. The lounge...
