...most part, Nixon cut his own pattern of what he would say and do, but he kept in close touch with the White House and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington. Only twice did Washington's Republican strategists prompt him on major matters: once to suggest that he get a little rougher with Adlai Stevenson, once to urge him to drop his valid point that free-enterprise technological advances will one day lead to a four-day work week in the U.S. It was a tough point to get across, and some Administration and G.O.P. brasshats thought it sounded...
