...decision; he has been included in closed-door strategy sessions for two months. The nondoctrinaire Darman rose from minor White House paper shuffler to assistant to the President and then No. 2 at Treasury despite his association with known liberals like Boston Brahmin Elliot Richardson (both resigned during Richard Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre...
...fund raising, advertising and get-out-the-vote operations as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee (pushing Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf upstairs). It will be a political rehabilitation of sorts. Malek, who worked for H.R. Haldeman, was censured by the Senate Watergate Committee for using federal resources to get Nixon re-elected and for ordering the FBI to conduct an investigation of former CBS Correspondent and Nixon Critic Daniel Schorr...
From early 1986, when George Bush set out on his long trek toward the Oval Office, Roger Ailes has been struggling to make more than just cosmetic changes in the Vice President.

He took early notice of George Bush's organizational work in the 1950s, encouraged his Goldwater phase and campaigned for him in 1964. Bush in his early oil travels lived briefly in Nixon's hometown of Whittier, Calif. But the tie with Nixon was deeper than that. The ex-Vice President of the early 1960s, while cultivating Goldwaterites, was also acquiring a covey of "walking gentlemen" to escort him back onto the public scene -- young talents like Robert Finch...
