  • THE UNITED STATES and SOUTH AFRICA in the NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This Thesis Examines Relat
    ABSTRACT THE SIN OF OMISSION: THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICA IN THE NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This thesis examines relations between the United States and South Africa during Richard Nixon’s first presidential administration. While South Africa was not crucial to Nixon’s foreign policy, the racially-divided nation offered the United States a stabile economic partner and ally against communism on the otherwise chaotic post-colonial African continent. Nixon strengthened relations with the white minority government by quietly lifting sanctions, increasing economic and cultural ties, and improving communications between Washington and Pretoria. However, while Nixon’s policy was shortsighted and hypocritical, the Afrikaner government remained suspicious, believing that the Nixon administration continued to interfere in South Africa’s domestic affairs despite its new policy relaxations. The Nixon administration concluded that change in South Africa could only be achieved through the Afrikaner government, and therefore ignored black South Africans. Nixon’s indifference strengthened apartheid and hindered liberation efforts, helping to delay black South African freedom for nearly two decades beyond his presidency.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in die adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at die upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Rick Perlstein I In the fall of 1967 Richard Nixon, reintroducing himself to the public for his second run for the presidency of the United States, published two magazine articles simultaneously. The first ran in the distinguished quarterly Foreign Affairs, the re- view of the Council of Foreign Relations. “Asia after Viet Nam” was sweeping, scholarly, and high-minded, couched in the chessboard abstrac- tions of strategic studies. The intended audience, in whose language it spoke, was the nation’s elite, and liberal-leaning, opinion-makers. It argued for the diplomatic “long view” toward the nation, China, that he had spoken of only in terms of red- baiting demagoguery in the past: “we simply can- not afford to leave China forever outside the fam- ily of nations,” he wrote. This was the height of foreign policy sophistication, the kind of thing one heard in Ivy League faculty lounges and Brookings Institution seminars. For Nixon, the conclusion was the product of years of quiet travel, study, and reflection that his long stretch in the political wil- derness, since losing the California governor’s race in 1962, had liberated him to carry out. It bore no relation to the kind of rip-roaring, elite- baiting things he usually said about Communists For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

  • LOOK REPORT: John Leonard Reviews "Six Crises" by Richard M
    ■ K. A, ".< " 6)4 LOOK REPORT: John Leonard reviews "Six Crises" by Richard M. Nixon, published by Doubldeay, 1962. Let me make it clear at the outset that I am not going to be objective. I am one of those people who are called "Nixon-haters"; somewhere along the line we feel that we personally have been somehow soiled by this man, and we become strident on the subject. So several of the propositions of this review are 1) that "Six Crises" establishes conclusively p-he contention that Richa rd Nixon has nothing to offer this nation but the cheap sort of second-rate sainthood he is here busy trying to manufacture; 2) that his book might more instructively have been titled "The Death of a Salesma n" or "Advertisements for Myself"; and 3) that, in baring his soul, he has shown us just how empty he is inside. That, I think, is fair warning. Switch me off now if you were expecting a few pious remarks about the tragic collapse of Dick Nixon, or a long swoon of meditation on the loneliness of this misunderstood and pitiable man, or a tennis-court slap on the back for the little man who almost made it. I read and I review his book because I am fascinated by the flower of rot, and because I think that more interesting and instructive than Richard Nixon the success is Richard Nixon the failure. I think that more meaningful than the man of tricks is the man of tricks reduced to desperation. All right.

  • Why Nixon Did Not Address Religion in the 1960 Presidential Campaign
    Nixon’s Strategy, Kennedy’s Trap: Why Nixon Did Not Address Religion in the 1960 Presidential Campaign Eric Miller On November 8, 1960, one of the closest presidential elections in American history ended in victory for a young senator with a Bostonian drawl and in defeat for an incumbent vice-president. John F. Kennedy was the Democratic senator and arguably one of the most inexperienced candidates in history. He also practiced Roman Catholicism, a religion that has been viewed by some with skepticism or even fear since well before the beginning of the United States. Richard Milhous Nixon was the current vice president and Republican nominee. Once the ballots were cast, it emerged that Nixon had fallen to Kennedy by 219 to 303 electoral votes. It was the closest popular vote margin of the twentieth century.1 Because of the closeness of this election, every political move Nixon and Kennedy made was significant and could potentially have impacted the result of the election. A critical and debatable political strategy by Nixon was to avoid the topic of religion throughout his campaign. What caused Nixon to leave this potentially advantageous topic completely unaddressed? Nixon disregarded the topic of religion in order to represent himself, idealistically, as a defender of America and its principles of the division of church and state as well as freedom of religion. It was essential for Nixon to live up to these high standards set forth by the Constitution, especially amidst pressure from Cold War enemy Soviet Russia. However, what ultimately caused Nixon to never directly address Kennedy’s Roman Catholic faith was purely political in motivation.
