Adopting a political-spiritual tone, Nixon told an overflow crowd of 88,000 in the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium at a Billy Graham rally that he shared many of the aspirations of the nation’s young people.

“I know there are things about America that are wrong,” he said. “But I also know this: That this is a country where a young per son knows that there is a peaceful way he can change what he doesn’t like about America.”

Hundreds of demonstrators held small signs reading, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and shouted “peace, peace” during his remarks.
