Nixon the One Who Can Govern a Fractured Nation
In the weeks after the Chicago convention the author argues the Democratic party is too disorganized to govern and that Nixon stands as the sole candidate capable of forming an effective administration. Wallace and Humphrey offer weak alternatives, and abstention remains McCarthy’s choice. The piece endorses Nixon, cites a shifting conservative trend, warns against Johnson’s legacy, and urges a government that can handle unrest and the Vietnam crisis.
