...White House was keeping hands off. Its first priority-maybe its only priority-was to re-elect the President. That meant avoiding any significant fight. On liberal urging, Presidential Aide John Ehrlichman and Campaign Manager Clark MacGregor made last-minute attempts to work out a compromise, but the conservatives were too confident to budge. Nor was their confidence misplaced. After a brief floor debate, the liberal proposal lost by a margin of more than...
...scripted deification of President Nixon reflected the political acumen of men like Senator Robert Dole (R-Ken), the chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Clark MacGregor, John Mitchell's successor as head of the Committee to Reelect the President. It pivoted on the tremendous funds which these men have at their disposal. A $44,000 podium designed for maximum television exposure, the most sophisticated electronics ever employed at a political convention, a series of documentary films highlighting the President, his family and his party--it was a staggering example of what money can buy and of how well-financed...
...presence of the White House staff in August--not the President, the Vice President, nor their families--Doral guests and employees were required to wear identification badges at all times, even when sunning beside the hotel's private pool. For Bob Haideman and Herb Klein and Clark MacGregor, paper shredders were installed at the Doral, and the hotel lobby was closed to conventioneers.

...White House, the campaign is closely run by the President, MacGregor, Domestic Affairs Assistant Ehrlichman, Presidential Assistant H.R. Haldeman and Special Counsel to the President Charles Colson. The presidential aides and other senior staffers meet at 8:15 every morning and plot the day's strategy. White House watchers are intrigued by the prominence of Colson, 40, once the lightly regarded head of the "department of dirty tricks." While remaining the hatchet man who keeps errant staffers in line and dreams up projects to embarrass the opposition, Colson also now mixes in such delicate matters as the grain sale...
...Republicans are going to do their best to pick up the Democrats who break with McGovern, to separate Democrats from McGovernites. "We want to solidify opinions now held across an unbelievably broad spectrum of the electorate," says MacGregor. Although Lyndon Johnson endorsed McGovern last week, several L.B.J. intimates have come out for Nixon. In Washington, John Connally has set up shop for Democrats for Nixon; he has been joined by L.B.J.'s former press secretary George Christian as well as former U.S. Information Agency Director Leonard Marks and Commerce Secretaries John Connor and C.R. Smith. Other Democrats who have...
