Respondi~ thTthre~f. widespread starvation that has been sharply increased by worldwide shortages and soaring prices of basic commodities; the Senator pro­ poses: Resumption .of large-scale food aid by the United States and other· food~exporting nations; establishment of national and international food reser"Ves; expansion of fertilizer distribution and production, and stepped up aid to agricultural development, including the pending contribution to I.D.A; '!• . ··' · · · · Although Mr. Humphrey's plan for action merely elaborates on promises already advanced by Secretary of State Kissinger at the recent special United Nations session, it faces stiff resistance within the Nixon Admin- .i istration and from a people who have just begun to see some hope for relief fro~, soaring food prices. The day is gone when Americans had food to bum, when overseas aid was a.convenient way ·tQ unload. embarrassing sur· pluses. Even with record harvests due, a new giveaway , program on the scale contemplated by the Senator would . put fresh pressure on· domestic prices and would compete with potential cash sales to more affluent foreign buyers.

By Godfrey Sperling Jr. Staff correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor· Washington 1; The noncandidacy . of Hubert H. Humphrey is achieving boomlet proportions: I • Soundings by The Christian Science Monitor in all regions of the )united States show growing interest in Senator Humphrey as the "presidential candidate next year. I • A CBS poll of the 361-member Democratic National Committee shows that 60 percent think Senator Humphrey will get the nomination. • Now Gov. Wendell R. Anderson of Minnesota; a former Humphrey campaign manager and a particularly close political associate of the _Senator, says that "if Humphrey maintains his momentum, I will have to urge him to get into the primaries." . j Did Mr. Anderson speak for Senator Humphrey? He wouldn'fadmit to that. But he told a breakfast meeting with reporters: "I think it ·.would be his [Humphrey's] hope and prayer" that he would. ! · Many elected leaders are saying,. privately, that there is no one among the 10 or so declared or soon-to-declare candidates who is likely .to either< 1 l unify the party or (2) be able to beat President Ford. · And, therefore, Mr. Humphrey is becoming the first choice of a majority of these leaders. Further, many who have another first choice are saying that if their man can't make it, they would like to have Mr. Humphrey as the nominee. Governor Anderson says that "pos&bly one of the other Democrats could beat Ford. But it would be much more risky than having Humphrey as the nominee!' · · Senator Humphrey told this same group of reporters earlier that he was adamarit against entering any of the presidential primaries next year- although he said he was quite willing to take the nomination if it came to him at the convention. The Senator says that he is physically fit and that he is better prepared to be President than at any other time in his life. But he says he cannot even be cajoled or pushed into the primaries. However, a scenario is now hinted where the point is reached Mr. By Robert McCormick ijumphrey may have to say something like this: "I didn't want to get into the primaries. And I still don't.

Mitchell* When Ed Muskie's parents came to the United States, they left the Polish province of the Imperial Russian Empire. Their son served with millions of other Americans in World War II, a war which began with the Nazi onslaught against his ancestral homeland and ended with a partially resurrected Poland. A few weeks before Ed Muskie ended thirty-five years in public office as more than thirty Soviet armored divisions massed on Poland's borders, he found himself meeting his NATO counterparts in Brussels to issue joint warnings to the Soviet Union. In December 1980, it was an open question if the Soviets would invade. The Soviets did not invade, though no one at that time could have predicted the outcome of that chapter of the Cold War with certainty.

  • Picking the Vice President
    Picking the Vice President Elaine C. Kamarck Brookings Institution Press Washington, D.C. Contents Introduction 4 1 The Balancing Model 6 The Vice Presidency as an “Arranged Marriage” 2 Breaking the Mold 14 From Arranged Marriages to Love Matches 3 The Partnership Model in Action 20 Al Gore Dick Cheney Joe Biden 4 Conclusion 33 Copyright 36 Introduction Throughout history, the vice president has been a pretty forlorn character, not unlike the fictional vice president Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays in the HBO seriesVEEP . In the first episode, Vice President Selina Meyer keeps asking her secretary whether the president has called. He hasn’t. She then walks into a U.S. senator’s office and asks of her old colleague, “What have I been missing here?” Without looking up from her computer, the senator responds, “Power.” Until recently, vice presidents were not very interesting nor was the relationship between presidents and their vice presidents very consequential—and for good reason. Historically, vice presidents have been understudies, have often been disliked or even despised by the president they served, and have been used by political parties, derided by journalists, and ridiculed by the public. The job of vice president has been so peripheral that VPs themselves have even made fun of the office. That’s because from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the last decade of the twentieth century, most vice presidents were chosen to “balance” the ticket. The balance in question could be geographic—a northern presidential candidate like John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts picked a southerner like Lyndon B.

  • The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon
    T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F... The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon What events influenced Richard Nixon’s rise to and fall from power? Introduction This photograph was taken of vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon relaxing with his pet dog, Checkers, in 1952. In his famous “Checkers” speech, Nixon refuted accusations that he had misused campaign contributions. He emphasized his family’s modest means, claiming that his wife, Pat, wore not a mink coat but “a respectable Republican cloth coat.” On September 23, 1952, California senator Richard Nixon reserved a spot on television to deliver the most important speech of his career. With this address, Nixon hoped to squash rumors that he had accepted $18,000 in illegal political contributions to finance personal expenses. The Republicans had recently nominated Nixon to run for vice president on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s ticket. When these charges against Nixon became public, Eisenhower was noncommittal — he did not drop Nixon from the ticket, but he also did not defend him. In his speech, Nixon said, “Not one cent of the $18,000 or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the © 2020 Teachers' Curriculum Institute Level: A T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F...

The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.
