...Into a Trap? Nixon was in plenty of trouble. His meeting earlier in New York with Republican Liberal Nelson Rockefeller, and his 14-point agreement of principles ("The Treaty of Fifth Avenue"). had rocked Midwestern, Southern and Western Republicans. Conservatives, led by the vocal and determined Barry Goldwater, stormed through the city, accusing Nixon of nothing less than treachery. Behind guarded hotel doors, the G.O.P. Platform Committee and all its subcommit tees foundered in a ragged dispute among conservatives, liberals and moderates. As moderates gritted their teeth and dug in, the platform was shaping up to something close...
...hairs on Nixon's neck, Dwight Eisenhower himself was burning up the wires. The one man who could destroy Nixon with a word was warning by phone that the use of words like "bold" and "new" in the defense plank of the platform would be "falling into a trap." The statements.

But it is Trevor Howard, as Paul's hardhanded father, who gives the film's best performance...
...unwilling to give details of the RB-47's course. He was extremely evasive about whether the U.S. flyers admitted making a "spy flight." Most unconvincing of all was his explanation of why Russia had for days gone through the motions of searching for the missing plane. "We trapped them on May 1, we wanted to trap them again on July 1-and to a degree we succeeded." Whose Right? Nikita was obviously intent on belaboring the West. But he acted like a man who wished he had a better club. When someone asked him about Cuba, he seized...
