Nixon, by contrast, seized on the topic to proclaim: "I see mothers holding their babies up so that they can see a man who might be President ... It makes you realize that whoever is President is going to be a man that all the children of America will either look up to or will look down to. And I can only say that I am very proud that President Eisenhower restored dignity and decency and, frankly, good language to the conduct of the presidency of the United States." The Nixon tapes, of course, later showed just how self-righteous that...
...Whoever wins the great scrap of 1977, all the automakers are already at work down-sizing their cars for 1978 and later years. GM will reduce the size of its 1978 intermediates, then its 1979 compacts. The smallest cars will have front-wheel drive to eliminate the transmission-train "hump" that decreases back-seat leg room.

If the G.O.P. candidate loses in November, the already wobbly party will become even shakier. Not just its opponents but Republicans themselves are wondering whether the G.O.P. can survive much longer...
...Though the Spanish denied any responsibility, jingoistic U.S. newspapers charged that a Spanish mine had caused the explosion. "Destruction of the Maine was the work of an enemy," charged William Randolph Hearst's newly founded New York Journal as it offered a $50,000 reward for conviction of whoever had done the deed.
