those who know him well. plus some
OF my own observations.
There are two reasons why I be-
lieve Mr.. Nelson wants to stay In

One is partly psychological and
has to do with what has happened to
Nelson's own attitude toward gov
eminent, which his closest friends
have watched develop. The other
has to do with this idea Of "expan-
sionism," definition Of which entails
a number of facts and figures, some
OF which may startle you as they
