...President Nixon has not yet provided that needed leadership, his aides insist that he will speak out when the time seems right. "He's waiting for this fever to cool a little bit," explains one assistant. "It is suggested that he doesn't have any gut sympathy with the civil rights cause. That may be true, but the gut thing can get you into an awful lot of trouble. This may be the time for reflection and figuring out the next move rather than a time of breast-beating or recrimination.
