...Get to work on 2004. Richard Nixon, having lost to John Kennedy in 1960 by a margin of problematic votes, worked for eight years in the Republican wilderness, speaking to every Rotary and Kiwanis that would have him. But Nixon had more ground to make up. He was defeated in the California race for Governor in 1962; an aura of redoubled loser clung to him like 5 o'clock shadow.

For example, just days after he heard about the October plant closings and the $512 million loss, the chairman made the mistake of telling the Financial Times that the notion of a merger of equals had always...
