Bearish & Bullish
There seemed to be a difference of opinion between top Republicans.
Appearing on CBS-TV's Washington Conversation, Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater last week all but dismissed Re publican chances for retaking the presidency in 1964. Said he: "The history of this century shows that Presidents are re-elected for a second term -- unless some thing very bad happens. Unless Kennedy stubs his toe, I would say that history would be against us." No such thing, said California's Richard Nixon, emerging from meetings with lo cal Republicans to announce that he will start a national politicking swing about May I to discuss the errors of the "first 100 days of the Kennedy Administration" By then, he observed, Kennedy's "political honeymoon" should be about over. Referring to his own defeat last year, he predicted: "Out of this defeat will come the greatest victory the Republican Party has ever known."
