...Enemies. Hearty, hefty (6 ft. 2 in., 230 lbs.) Len Hall, 59, was a natural choice to run Nixon's campaign. As the 1956 campaign manager for Ike and past chairman of the Republican National Committee (1953-57), he knows more Republican politicians, and is more familiar with the intricacies of the party's machinery than any other man.

By September, scarcely pausing for breath, he was on the campaign stump, attracting larger crowds than the most optimistic Republicans had expected. Everyone agreed Nelson Rockefeller was a political golden boy; everyone suggested a different reason why. Said brother Laurance, an amateur psychologist...
...York. Philanthropist Nelson Rockefeller, 49, announced his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, thereby throwing the gauntlet to GOPolitician Len Hall, ex-National Committee chairman, who had announced earlier, had been hoping for a clear field for the August G.O.P. convention. Rockefeller, who turned down pleas that he run for Senator, is no professional politico, but he has built a distinguished longtime record in public service...
