An aging speaker recalls Armistice Day memories from 50 years ago and notes the shift from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. The piece traces wars from World War I to World War II and Korea to Vietnam, warning that nuclear warfare could end all, including future veterans.
The piece notes George Wallace failed to emerge as a national threat, polling about 13 percent and confined mainly to Southern states. It argues Wallace hurt Nixon more in many contests, questions the viability of a national American Independent movement, and says voters chose mainstream candidates rather than a third party in most cases.
In the wake of a split vote dominated by Wallace across the South and urban Dem strongholds, Nixon must craft a coalition. The piece weighs Thurmond’s potential rewards, Rockefeller’s unlikely bid, and Gardner as a demarcation for urban policy, stressing a difficult path to unity.
