WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 1973 (UPI)-Thousands of celebrants poured into the capital today to participate in the festivities and hoopla surrounding the second inauguration of President Nixon.
The air was festive, with flags and buntings bedecking public buildings along the parade route and street vendors hawking huge buttons with Nixon's picture. One teen-age girl who stopped to buy a Nixon picture wore a button that said: "Wendell Willkie, he is our salvation and hope."
