Nixon's choice of William P. Rogers as his Secretary of State offered no clue. Rogers is proud that his record is unmarked by a single public statement on Viet Nam. But when Nixon last week named Henry Cabot Lodge, his 1960 running mate, to be chief U.S. negotiator in Paris, it seemed to many that the new Administration was at last tipping its hand. Lodge, who twice served as U.S. Ambassador to Saigon, was the instrument of American power in Viet Nam at crucial moments of the war. A number of commentators argued that his selection...
...since the TV show, Nixon has only reinforced his Cabinet's image. Henry Cabot Lodge seems to be Nixon's idea of the man to appoint when he needs a "diplomatic expert" and has no one else handy to fill the post. His choice of Lodge as his running mate in 1960 had the same reasoning behind it. Robert W. Packard is another of Nixon's Big Businessmen; an electronics tycoon, he must dispose of $300 million in stock before he takes the Assistant Secretary of Defense...
...cheerful group strolled in after, as one put it, "delivering the goodies." Though the flyers had obviously been ordered not to talk about their employers, some relaxed sufficiently after several pink gins to joke about their cargoes of "birth-control pills"-or ammunition.

"I've got a wife and five kids and I want to put a down payment...
...Lyndon Johnson was seriously thinking of making amiable Mike Mansfield, majority leader of the Senate, his running mate instead of Hubert Humphrey. That way, the President reasoned, Humphrey could become majority leader, giving L.B.J. far more forceful Senate leadership and Humphrey a bigger reputation for an eventual presidential campaign of his own. It would also have spared Humphrey what was to become one of his most onerous burdens-his overly close association with an unpopular Administration. There were reports last week that Humphrey, too, had some unorthodox ideas this year about his own running mate: he wanted New York...
While Edmund Muskie sat with Hubert Humphrey in a pre-election TV talkathon from Los Angeles, Richard Nixon conducted his own four-hour program without the help of his running mate. To make sure that Agnew did not feel slighted, however, Nixon was almost comically extravagant in his praise. The Marylander, said Nixon, "is a man with brains. He's a man of very great courage. He doesn't wilt under fire." Meanwhile, Agnew campaigned in Virginia, then flew home to Maryland, where he relaxed on Election Day on the golf course, and gave a party in Government House...
