...impression he sought. And in the most careful, subtle way, he limned the first faint outlines of his campaign strategy. Rockefeller, the independent, offhanded (and astute) winner of the 1958 New York campaign for Governor, is out to convince the party regulars that 1) he is a serious organization Republican; 2) he has no quarrel with the Administration, but the country needs new men for new and unprecedented problems; and 3) competition among candidates is healthy ("I think it's useful to have discussion and excitement about candidates...

...Neutrals. Though President Eisenhower has taken a public position of neutrality in any contest involving Nixon, Rockefeller, or any other Republican candidate, his closest friends and associates have not. This was borne out emphatically at a stag dinner Dick Nixon attended recently in New York, heart of the Rockefeller domain. The guests were all intimate friends of President Eisenhower's -such men as Coca-Cola's Board Chairman William Robinson, General Electric's President Ralph Cordiner, Cities Service's Board Chairman W.
