But Nixon also invited him to sit in with G.O.P. leaders at a top-level conference to discuss a running mate. Asked his preference, Billy at once suggested Oregon's Senator Mark Hatfield, because of his deep religious faith (Hatfield is also a devout Baptist.) At his Pittsburgh Crusade last month, Graham introduced Nixon to the audience and praised him for his "generosity," "tremendous constraint of temper," and even "his integrity in counting the score" in golf...
