...position papers issued so far, both Humphrey and Nixon propose large-scale federal assistance to local law-enforcement, judicial and correction agencies. Both emphasize the need for a major attack on organized crime and an enlarged role for the Justice Department. However, Humphrey's proposals are considerably more detailed. He recommends, for instance, the establishment of "regional crime institutes" to do research and provide training and technical services for local law-enforcement agencies.

But if he ever does switch to political crusades, his views would resemble those of his friend the candidate. Like Nixon, Graham considers that the Supreme Court has "gone too far" in favoring criminals. He supports Black Power, but only if it means "a feeling of self-respect," not violence or civil disobedience. He believes that the demonstrators at the Democratic Convention in Chicago (where he also gave...
