...cocked, and we can handle any political ammunition we get." Every Sunday, in downtown Washington's Cafritz Building, Burch convenes a steering committee that includes Campaign Director Denison Kitchel and such experienced political pros as New York's Len Hall, Ohio's Ray Bliss and California's Bill Knowland, to review and plot progress. They study polls, preview ad drives, advise on policy, and discuss what to do about the chronic shortage of campaign funds. Already, the top advisers have analyzed past election returns in sufficient detail to assign every county in the U.S. (total...
Unlike Nixon in 1960, Barry will run his presidential campaign through the National Committee rather than his own organization. Scholarly Denison Kitchel will stay on as Goldwater's personal campaign manager, but he will work closely with Burch through party machinery. Burch is already drafting a plan to "make the National Committee the instrument of the campaign and the party." The present National Committee staff will likely be pared by half. Key Goldwater men will move into commit tee offices in Washington...
...Richard G. Kleindienst, 40, director of campaign field operations. As extraverted as Kitchel is introverted, Kleindienst rose through the G.O.P. ranks in Arizona to become state party chairman and, as one friend puts it, "a full-fledged political animal."

When he first barnstormed into Chicago, complains one Goldwater man, he rushed about making deals only to find he had missed the real party leaders, later had to do some fancy backpedaling. Kleindienst also finds time to promote his own political...
...Kitchel is also one of the few men who exercise sufficient intellectual sway over Goldwater to shape his opinions or persuade him to change his mind. It was Kitchel who convinced Goldwater of the crucial value of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (now one of Barry's main pitches) and who argued Goldwater into reversing his stand against the use of federal troops to enforce the Supreme Court's 1954 school-desegregation decision. In his own quiet way, Kitchel downgrades his importance in the Goldwater lineup. "My position," he says, "has been that of a friend who counsels...
...University of Arizona, Burch joined the Senator's Washington staff in 1955, became a close personal friend, and even got his flying license after lessons from Old Pilot Goldwater. The youngest of Goldwater's top aides, Burch plunged into the thankless job of scheduling campaign appearances, aided Kitchel in a notable job of offending the fewest possible Republicans despite the candidate's disturbing penchant for last-minute cancellations...
