...fairly impressive display of her stubborn cool, Tricia decided that her wedding to Edward Finch Cox would go just as she had planned it. Attendants with white towels mopped the rain water from the gazebo just outside the Oval Office and peeled the protective plastic sheeting from the white carpet spread down the aisle between the gilt guest chairs arranged in the Rose Garden. At 4:30 p.m., after a half-hour delay, the rain stopped, and perhaps the loveliest of all the 16 weddings held at the White House began...
...appearance by the use of more pictures and cartoons. In Washington, particularly, an appearance on the Op-Ed page has become a status cachet. Salisbury admits that "it's become a prestige thing for bureaucrats. We have to fight them off." White House Staffers Robert Finch, Herbert Klein and William Safire have practiced what some readers regard as blatant pro-Nixon puffery in their Op-Ed contributions, but Salisbury insists that he has returned the worst such examples for rewrites and made "ruthless revisions" in others to purge them of their most obvious public relations touches.

Richardson served as Undersecretary of State in the Nixon administration until mid-1970, when he was named head of HEW. He replaced in that post Robert Finch, a close friend of Nixon who moved to the White House to become an adviser to the President.

Some in New York's Social Register set believe that the marriage is somehow vaguely morganatic. Eddie's mother, Anne Finch, is descended from Robert R. Livingston, who signed the Declaration of Independence, administered the oath of office to George Washington and was envoy to France in Napoleon's time. His statue stands in the Capitol's Statuary Hall. The other side of the argument is that the daughter of an American President does not marry up. In a meritocratic society, it is not convincing to suggest that the groom outranks the bride socially because of a forebear's accomplishments...
Unlikely as it first seems, President Nixon has turned the nation's drug problem into what he calls a major foreign policy concern. During a recent jaunt through Europe and North Africa, Presidential Counsellors Robert Finch and Donald Rumsfeld met with leaders in eleven lands to underscore Nixon's concern over illicit international traffic in narcotics. Last week at his press conference, in answer to a plainly planted question, the President called for a "national offensive" to fight addiction among American youth-with special emphasis on veterans who return from Viet Nam hooked on heroin. The Administration...
