Let me say that Mr. Nixon and I have one thing in common and that is that he just campaigns in Republican districts.
All I can do as a candidate for the Presidency is to make a judgment on what this country must do.
American prestige, essential to our influence and our security, has declined these last 8 years even more sharply than we realized.
I do not detect any note of urgency in the speeches of the Vice President.
