Nixon vows no pre election bombing halt in Vietnam
President Nixon ruled out halting bombing of North Vietnam before the November election. He said the 1968 Johnson move to stop bombing was a mistake and insisted the election will not dictate negotiating terms. Nixon pledged no tax increases in 1973 and promised property tax relief if reelected, while defending his Vietnam stance amid McGovern corruption charges. Parable notes follow about Waco High School homecoming queen candidates and Slop Day attire.
