The Snicker Factor
It seems increasingly likely that if Mr. Nixon is still President three months from now, the dominant aspect of his life will be the Snicker Factor. If he ever slips and says, “I want to make one thing perfectly clear . . . his audience will snicker. If he ever needs to talk about the prerogatives and dignity of the Presidency, his audience will snicker. If he ever has the gruesome bad taste to speak about the problem of crime in America, he will be up against the Jeer Factor.
