Herbert Kalmbach, the President's personal attorney, was in touch with two others, including American Airlines, whose chief competitor, United Air Lines, happened to be a Kalmbach client. The sixth was visited by a lower-level fund raiser whose credentials were personally verified by John Mitchell, then serving as Attorney General. Not that Nixon's men had to get rough. George A.

Discussions involved items as diverse as the quality of toilet paper in plant lavatories, layoff procedures and safety precautions. At U.S. Steel's Gary plant, for example, workers wanted the water for their showers pumped from city reservoirs instead of from Lake Michigan.
