Nixon COULD have won in 1960 by making a few different choices:
1. No TV debates.
2. No "Compact of 5Th Avenue" with Rockefeller
3. No 50 state campaign pledge
4. Pick Everett Dirksen for VP.
As for President Nixon in office in 1961, he would never have authorized the Bay of Pigs invasion. The Soviets would probably not have built the Berlin Wall, or installed missiles in Cuba. Nixon also would not have agreed to the coup against Diem in Vietnam, leaving the US an out if Diem couldn't hold it together.
