This issue separates Mr. Nixon and myself and it separates the Republican and Democratic Parties.

Over 35 percent of our brightest boys and girls who graduate from high school never see the inside of a college.

I believe that we stand for rebuilding the United States, for developing our economy, for moving ahead here at home, and building our strength around the world.

But if He has a place and a part for me, I believe that I am ready.

Above all, we must improve our educational system for the sake of our children.

Seven million Americans today, only 2 years after the recession of 1958, that are either unemployed or working 2 or 3 days a week.
