McManus Belmont, Massachusetts According Ac-cording to Greek mythology, the phoenix was a huge bird which had the ability to rise fresh and young from the ashes of a fire that had totally consumed it. Throughout his career, Richard Nixon has repeatedly appeared to be politically, as dead as the dodo, another bird, whose name signifies extinction. But Richard Rich-ard Nixon should never be likened lik-ened to a dodo bird. He is, as he is proving once again, the most phoenix-like politician of our age or perhaps of any age. A Parade of Comebacks Nixon's ability to arise from deep trouble was demonstrated early in his career. In the midst of his campaign for Vice President Presi-dent in 1952, a withering blast of corruption charges was levelled at him. Most of the Republican leaders let him know that they wanted him to resign. But the resourceful re-sourceful Mr. Nixon saved his political hide by going on television to detail his financial situation , in the famous "Checkers Speech." Democrats labelled the performance perform-ance "soap opera schmaltz" (no , argument here!) but it worked. Richard Nixon hung on to be- come our Vice President for the next eight years. , After his narrow loss in 1960 (at that time he was a victim of the eight-years-of-Republicans-eight-years-of-Democrats cycle, the same cycle which later aided him in his quest for the Presidency), Presi-dency), he ran unsuccessfully for governor of California in 1962. At the close of that race, which no Republican should have lost, but which Richard Nixon threw away by attacking conservative Republicans, he held the memorable "You don't have Richard Nixon to kick around any more" press conference confer-ence and retired from politics. Or so it seemed at the time. Down, but certainly not out, Richard Nixon moved to New York, took up with the Rockefellers Rockefel-lers even more cozily than before, be-fore, and laid his plans to emerge from the ashes once again. In 1968, he won the big prize and became our President. In 1972, he won it again, with forty-riine of the fifty states backing him. But then came Watergate, and once again he appeared to be finished. No Ordinary Man Richard Nixon, however, is not an ordinary man. And these are not ordinary times. He rode a carefully contrived, but actually undeserved, anti-Communist image all the way to the White House. In keeping with that image, he had for a time been one of Nationalist China's most vocal champions. But actions have always spoken more loudly than words, and it was Mr. Nixon's Nix-on's actions in 1972 that betrayed be-trayed our Chinese allies and put us into bed with the murderous tyrants in Peking. Now the Chinese Chi-nese Communists are repaying their friend by once again pumping new life into his ashes. There is a key to understanding understand-ing the remarkable resiliency of our former President. That key is his career-long willingness to promote the cause of Communism. Commu-nism. From his twenty-five years of sabotaging anti-Communists, to his long support for anti-American proposals like the Atlantic Union, to his more blatant bla-tant concessions to Red China and the Soviet Union, to his appointment ap-pointment of men like Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon has always al-ways led with his left foot. Now he calls for more trade and closer ties with Red China. While in Peking, he even joined in applause for the "liberation" of anti-Communist Taiwan. He is still playing the Communists' game. With Kissinger running things in Washington, who would be surprised to see the United States abandon Taiwan, recognize Communist China, and send Richard Nixon to Peking Pe-king as our ambassador? Would the always ambitious Mr. Nixon then be satisfied? Who knows? What is certain is that, as long as he lives, Richard Nixon should be neither counted out nor expected to deviate from the Communist line. 1976 The John Birch Society Featuret . . !
