Nixon weathers crises with determination
From Page 5

remembers.
In the 1960 Presidential election, Nixon was considered the favorite. However, John Kennedy, Nixon's opponent, proposed a series of television debates, which Nixon accepted. This was the decisive point in the campaign, as a nervous and badly prepared Nixon was overshadowed by Kennedy. Kenney went on to win the election by less than 118,000 votes out of 69 million, a defeat Nixon never forget.
Determined not to have his political life smothered, Nixon returned to California to join Mr. Granahan in the U.S. government for governor in 1962. After his defeat in the election, Nixon told the press,
"Just think how much you're going to be
wondered won't have Nixon to kick
around any more."
But Nixon carefully planned his return to the public spotlight. He became the perfect elder statesman, working diligently for his party and for the campaign seemed daunted from the start.
According to Heller, a combination of circumstances and abilities made "Nixon vicious," as he called his convention. Attacking his democratic opponent, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, on the previous administration's actions, he took aim at him to a thin margin of victory over Humphrey.
Nixon's promises to end the war in Vietnam and maintain law and order sounded good to a nation tired of international conflict and crime in the streets.
However, the promised end to the Vietnamese conflict took four years, much to the dismay of the American people. Fluctuations between escalation and stagnating immunity. Nikon ordered the invasion of 1970 and fired a pulled protest movement.
Leland Pritchard, professor of economics at KU, said a combination of Vietnam war policies and monetary mismanagement caused the Vietnam era inflation.
"Nixon just didn't do much to solve the war, Pritchard said. "He took four years to wind down in Vietnam when it should have only taken four months."
favorably, it will certainly be in the area of foreign policy. Combining the availability of Henry Kissinger for an adviser and his past anticommunist record, Nixon paved the way for normalization of relations with the communist power powers.
--five men bungled their way into the
nowwalling story of Nixon's debacle sealed.
Roy Laidley, professor of political science, said that it was a very curious thing in history that such an ardent anticommunitist should be the one to begin "thawing relations between the cold war adversaries."
"In my opinion," Laird said, "whatever else Nikon's faults, his role in bringing about the detente must go down as a major positive contribution."

Finally, on Aug. 9, 1974, less than two years after his landslide re-election, Richard M. Nixon resigned as the 37th President of the United States. Thus, the greatest paradox in a career of paradoxes was to end his public life.

And yet these successful foreign policy actions are possibly doomed to be overshadowed by Nixon's executive scandals. A man of great paradoxes, the law and order president turned coconspirator isn't the least of these.
