Re-elecred b¡ an unprecedenrcd 49-srare
landslide, President Richard Milhous Nixon
is ready co pursue for anorher four ¡•ears
his goal of "a full generacion of peace."
Jn rhe November 7 balloting che presidcnc
reccived a popular vote of 61%, compared
ro 38% for Democratic candidarc George
S. McGovcrn. The overwhelming mandare
gave evidence thac che majority of Ameri–
cans found Mr. Nixon's plan for winding
down che war in Vietnam more accepcable
chan chac of his opponenr. and rhar rhey
approved ofhis diplornaric iniriatives during
his first four years of office. With a settle–
ment in Vietnam in sight, Mr. Nixon is
looking ro rhe world at large and to che
long-rerm fururc, in which he hopes
nations will move from an era of con–
froncacion co an era of negotiation.
