  • The Mystery of Richard Nixon
    • The President welcomed the Nixons back from their harrowing South American "good will- tour last May. The Mystery of Richard Nixon A Post editor's penetrating examination of one of the most disputed figures in America— the man who at the moment probably has the best chance of becoming the next U. S. President. By STEWART ALSOP Reception committee at Caracas. Even Nixon's enemies admitted that he faced the mobs courageously. 11111 There is at least one point about that much disputed figure, Richard Milhous Nixon, which no sensible person can now dispute. De- spite a surface blandness which sometimes makes him seem quite ordinary, Vice Presi- dent Nixon is a most extraordinary man. Con- sider one measure of just how extraordinary he is. Since 1836, when Martin Van Buren in- herited the crown from crusty old Andrew Jackson, no Vice President has been nomi- nated as his party's Presidential candidate. Yet already, two years in advance, Vice President Nixon has the 1960 Republican Presidential nomination sewed up in a nearly puncture- proof bag. And even allowing for the current low state of Republican fortunes, he unques- tionably has a better chance than any other 2g After one of the most successful RICHARD years the college has ever witnessed, NIXON we stop to reminisce, and come to the PRESIDENT realization that much of the success A. S. W. C. was due to the efforts of this very gentleman. Always progressive, and with a liberal attitude, he has led us through the year with flying colors.

  • The Good Old Campaigns an Engaging Look at the 1948 Presidential Elections
    THE GOOD OLD CAMPAIGNS AN ENGAGING LOOK AT THE 1948 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS Chicago Tribune - Chicago, Ill. Author: Steven M Gillon Steven M Gillon is the author of "That's Not What We Meant to Do: Reform and Its Unintended Consequences in 20th Century America" Date: Aug 20, 2000 In our age of focus groups and instant polls, it is refreshing to be reminded that presidential campaigns can sometimes be unpredictable and electrifying. Historian Zachary Karabell does just that in this entertaining and thoughtful account of the most exciting presidential campaign in modern times, the 1948 contest that pitted underdog incumbent Harry Truman, the Democrat, against the overconfident Thomas Dewey, the Republican, and two minor-party candidates. What makes the 1948 election unique, Karabell tells us, is not just its surprising outcome but the range of opinions articulated by the contenders. On the left, running on the Progressive Party ticket, was former Vice President Henry Wallace, who combined a populist appeal and deeply religious beliefs in his lonely crusade for internationalism and pacifism. "He believed he was called to lead a noble crusade in the path of righteousness," Karabell writes. Unfortunately for Wallace, the hardening Cold War consensus and growing fears of communist subversion left him vulnerable to charges of being soft on communism. Ironically, the most strident voices came not from the right but from fellow liberals in an operation organized by the White House and spearheaded by the Americans for Democratic Action. Karabell is evenhanded in his treatment of the often-elusive Wallace. While defending Wallace against the vicious Redbaiting of his opponents, Karabell acknowledges that his refusal to disavow the Communist Party overshadowed his farsighted and often courageous support for civil and economic rights.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
