Title: Setting the course, the first year
First published: 1970
Description: In the first year of the Nixon Administration there have been many such moments of beginning. Moments that set new policies, new programs to solve the problems of a troubled nation. All of these are mirrored in Setting the Course - a collection of the major speeches and messages that marked President Nixon's first twelve months in office. Speeches that define the philosophy and plans of the Administration, messages that reveal what direction the government - and the nation - will take in the years ahead. The words are important historically. But they are much more than that: they disclose a broad and inclusive view of the forces that motivate this Administration, and the goals that give it direction. -- from back cover.
