- Description
- Episode Description
- We recently heard from Mr. Novak's partner in column-and book-writing, Rowland Evans (Firing Line #31); this time it is Mr. Novak's turn to talk about the political scene--and to give an unintended cautionary lesson to would-be prognosticators. WFB: "I'd like to begin by asking Mr. Novak whether he thinks it likely that Mr. Nixon will be nominated in 1968." RN: "I think it's very unlikely. I think ... [the Republicans] think now, with good reason, they have a chance of beating Mr. Johnson in 1968. So this is not a throwaway election, this is a serious election. They want a winner, and Mr. Nixon is a loser. So I think they'll look primarily to George Romney." Currently there is only a digitized transcript available for this episode.
