Operation Candor aims to salvage Nixon amid Watergate turmoil
The article details President Nixon's response to Watergate through an image making push dubbed Operation Candor. It covers the mid October crisis, the Suez cease-fire tension, the Defense Condition 3 alert, and the shift to public persuasion. It notes missing tapes, White House explanations, and a broad push to win support from Congress and GOP lawmakers as impeachment talk intensified. It also tracks public reaction, editorials calling for resignation, and Nixon's eight meetings with lawmakers in six days plus a five day southern swing to bolster support.
