...declaration of principle came midway through the third full week of the Ford presidency, a week in which he turned from healing the wounds of Watergate to dealing with the nation's bread-and-butter problems. Almost daily, Ford met with members of his staff and Cabinet to discuss the country's economic ills (see cover story page 22) and to review plans for the two-day economic summit conference of businessmen, labor leaders and economists that will take place later this month...
...culmination, he said, of "an impossible dream" he had had all his life. Four years later, Nixon was renominated for what looked like-and proved to be-a push over of a campaign for a second term. On yet another Aug. 8, last week, Nixon announced his resignation, midway through his term, ruined by his own deeds.

"It's like...

When I saw it in New York a few years back, I kept thinking about this basketball star in my high school who disappeared for awhile after finally o.d.ing midway through my junior year--it was a little incongruous, since the forgotten high school basketball stars in the play are mostly pushing 40, more or less respectable, and concerned because basketball's no longer a "white man's game." Maybe as a result of this confusion, I wasn't as impressed...
