1968年1月9日,坐了八年政治冷板凳的尼克松在他五十五岁生日晚会上宣布,他已决定参加总统竞选。 竞选机器尚未运转,尼克松的竞选活动总管霍尔德曼在一份备忘录中说:“对于政治竞选活动来说,就其竞选技术和战略而言,走出黑暗时代,进入人们肉眼之外可以看到的新的华丽世界的时刻已经到来。”[1]理论,顶着那颗聪明的脑袋又一次跚跚来迟。实际上,“走出黑暗时代”在八年前就开始了,尼克松就是第一场大戏的主角之一。 On January 9, 1968, Nixon, who sat on the bench for eight years on the political cold bench, announced at his 55th birthday party that he had decided to attend the presidential election. Campaign machine is not running, Holderman, Nixon campaign director, said in a memo: “For the political campaign, as far as its campaign technology and strategy are concerned, out of the dark ages, people can see beyond the naked eye The time has come for a new, gorgeous world. ”[1] Theory, once again with the clever head, was tossed late. In fact, “Out of the Dark Ages” started eight years ago and Nixon was one of the main characters in the first drama.
