Nixon Widens Peace Drive Amid Prayer Breakfasts
President Nixon attended two prayer breakfasts with government leaders and pledged to make his administration the "great years" for the nation and the world while noting faith can sustain peace and freedom. He then discussed space policy with Apollo 8 astronauts and urged tolerance for dissent in foreign policy. Severe winter weather disrupted travel, closed schools, and strained infrastructure across the Northwest, Central Rockies, Great Lakes region, and parts of the South and Midwest, with snow, ice, and bitter cold compounding hardships. Washington Governor Dan Evans declared a state of emergency in Mason County as Guardsmen delivered food to isolated families. Indiana towns faced flooding from ice jams and runoff impacts.
