Nixon urged TV debates for clearer, cheaper campaigns
The 1964 vision by Richard Nixon promotes televised debates to inform voters, reduce campaign costs, and present a systematic program. The piece regrets Nixon later shunning debates in 1972 and notes Barry Goldwater’s claim that Kennedy and he would have held joint 1964 debates, deeming such stumping wholesome for the country and urging 1976 candidates to adopt it.

Kraft reflects on summit, emigration issue and Cold War leverage
The column argues the Nixon Brezhnev talks failed to secure major concessions in tax terms, arms control, or troop redeployments. It says Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union rose as a surrogate bargaining chip, stirring Congress to press for better conditions for Soviet Jews as a condition for trade concessions. It notes Brezhnev avoided direct engagement with Jackson and Javits, leaving a Jackson amendment likely attached to the trade bill, while warning the U.S. risked dependence on a peripheral issue to define peace terms.
