COL49 - Chap 1: Oedipa says no to drugs

[Bekah]

Nixon ran for President in 1960 and lost to Kennedy then he ran for  
Governor of California in 1962 and lost to Pat Brown (Jerry's  
father).  So he angrily dropped from sight for several years.    
Meanwhile,  Goldwater ran for President in 1964, lost but stuck  
around in the public eye for a few years.   And  Reagan ran and won  
the race for Governor of California in 1966 to start out his official  
political career.
