Nixon Emphasizes Self Help and Foreign Retreat In Inaugural
In his second inaugural address President Nixon sketches four year aims of limiting federal power and cutting domestic programs. He signals a shift toward self reliance at home and a restrained role abroad, echoing Kennedy but reversing the philosophy. The tone is grave as he faces Congress friction and criticism. He drafts the speech at Key Biscayne and the White House, drawing on past inaugurals to frame a mandate for reelection.

Kennedy says no argument before Decatur schools hit man shooting
Robert Kennedy, attendance supervisor for Decatur City Schools, was shot in the left ankle by Napoleon Clapton III at Lakeside Standard Service.
