And the article is more sub-\njective. Finding the speech disappointing due to its\nblurriness on Phase II's \"Rube Goldberg administrative\nmechanism, 11 Time still believes \"there is much to\nendorse in RN's (utterly Nixonian) program. 11 And\nRN may well have struck a chord in his appeal to the\nnation.
