Nixon and Rockefeller Face Parallel Political Hurdles
James Marlow reports that Nixon and Rockefeller each confront one major problem as they seek the Republican presidential nomination. Nixon must keep conservative Republicans behind him while attracting independents, while Rockefeller must decide how to present a liberal platform to appeal to voters without alienating his base.
