Nixon’s Middle East trip casts shadow over health scare
Nixon kept from public view a dangerous thrombophlebitis scare after a June 10 Salzburg examination. White House physician Dr. Walter Tkach said the clot is now attached to the vein wall, a fixed condition unlikely to travel to the heart or lungs. Nixon, in Key Biscayne, said to be in good shape, relaxed with friend Bebe Rebozo, and plans White House briefings with congressional leaders.
