Sometimes it seems that Nixon and his men were flash-frozen back in the mid-'50s, when the U.S. was primarily concerned with consumer appetites and staving off recessions, when the men from the board rooms ruled comfortably and calmly. Defrosted and put into service now, 15 years later, they find the environment totally changed. For Mitchell and his aides, Haynsworth met the criteria of respectability and honor that automatically accrues to one of his social and economic standing. What else was needed? For Nixon, it is enough that a President deliberate in solitude and have a nice, pleasant...

What brought about the sudden shift in Republican ranks against Haynsworth was the disclosure that he once had a tenuous business connection with Bobby Baker, the former Democratic Senate aide who was convicted of larceny and tax evasion in 1967.

Senator Edward Brooke returned home to plump for Saltonstall, and Edward Kennedy made radio spots for Harrington...
There were also risks. Willy Brandt's partnership with the Free Democrats might prove precarious from a practical standpoint because the Free Democrats are a schizophrenic party. It was formed in 1948, composed largely of business and professional men who found the C.D.U. too "black" or Catholic and the S.P.D. too "red" or socialistic. At first the F.D.P. was dominated by a right wing of nay-sayers?businessmen who thought there was too much welfare spending, Protestants wary of the C.D.U.'s heavy Catholic influence, nationalists who felt Bonn was too pro-American. Scheel belonged to the Free Democrats' younger...
