The article presents information about U.S. President Richard Nixon. Politics is perhaps an art, perhaps a scale of values or a conjunction of possibilities, but never a science. Nixon built his reputation as a politician and his position of leadership in the Republican Party by using his conspicuous talents on the platform and by the sheer drudgery of cultivating the keepers of the Republican vineyard. A hundred politicians and writers will testify to Nixon's standing with the Republican hierarchy, and they have drawn the inference that ipso facto he is a masterly politician and an acknowledged leader of men.

The article discusses the political career of Richard Nixon. Most accounts of Nixon's career in the Senate adopt an apologetic tone, as if it were hardly fair to count this interval against him. It is customary to brush lightly over the fact that he served only 19 months, that freshman Senators are more often seen than heard, that as a congenital lone wolf he failed to achieve any real personal standing in the "most exclusive club in the world." From the beginning, Nixon was one of those who failed to grasp the concept of a limited war as a combined politico-military struggle.

The article details the U.S. Congress member Richard Nixon's performance in the House of Representatives. Almost from the start Nixon showed a grasp of the opportunistic art of working on one side of the fence while a bill was being amended and perfected, and then switching to the other side or being conveniently absent when the measure came to a final vote. Early in his House career, Nixon was referred to by a Washington newspaper as "the greenest Congressman in town." In view of Nixon's interest in "smashing the labor bosses" and his success with the Communist subversion issue in the 1946 campaign, he was especially fortunate in his committee assignments.

This article presents information on some political developments in the U.S. in the year 1956. It is informed that the 1956 campaign began in an atmosphere of political uncertainty. The curtain-raiser for the campaign was a folksy, enthusiastic picnic for 600 key party workers September 13 at the Eisenhower farm at Gettysburg. The President played host under a big tent in a pasture; he circulated busily in the crowd shaking hands, lined up with his guests at a buffet table to eat fried chicken, and shared star billing with Richard Nixon on the speaking program. Nixon's actual campaigning began early on the morning of September 18. Present to signalize the occasion was Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the U.S.

The article discusses repudiation of the Republican Party in the 1958 elections in the U.S. For the U.S. President Richard Nixon the campaign of 1958 was his worst. The Republicans suffered their worst Congressional defeat since 1936, to the degree that his efforts to prevent a debacle were unavailing, his reputation as a winner was compromised. Nixon could have been fully aware of the odds against him and could still have been a pawn of circumstance. Politically he had a gun at his head. The man in the White House was the first lame duck President to be categorically retired under the 22nd Amendment; when this constitutional inhibition was compounded by considerations of health, it was clear that little could be expected from a party leader in the U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's state of physical and political debilitation. The authoritative voice of Republicanism was of Nixon.

The article presents information on the U.S. politics. As a campaigner, riding a wave of popular revulsion against wartime urgencies and stringencies, Richard Nixon had gained a series of impressive victories. Then came the ebb tide, and in 1954 he found himself for the first time playing a lead in a more turgid drama. As the 1952 crusade lost momentum the outlook for the Republicans had turned equivocal. Disillusionment set in; there was dissatisfaction over continuing budget deficits; over high taxes; over the business recession; over the evident fact that the General had not worked miracles and the no less evident refusal of the Cold War to go away.

The article focuses on U.S. Senator Richard Nixon. The "Congressional Record," for May 14, 1951, reveals that on that day Nixon was excused from attendance at the U.S. Senate sessions for one week to enable him to serve as a member of the United States delegation to the World Health Organization's meetings in Geneva. Later that month, to attest the Senator's growing stature in party circles and his presumptive alliance with U.S. politician Harold Stassen, Nixon was one of 45 men invited to a New Jersey private estate for a strategy conference.
