Background
Just a couple of weeks before, in what the New York Times called “the greatest comeback since Lazarus," Richard Nixon outgunned both Vice-President Rockefeller and Governor Reagan for the Republican nomination - and now, Reagan tells a supporter, he will beat his brains out trying to elect him. “We haven't too many more chances in this land of ours”…
Of course, Reagan himself would have another chance, in 1976, and another still, in 1980. The third time proved the charm - and with his election, the conservative wing of the Republican party had, finally, its “chance.”
