Agnew complained further that the Washington Post Co.'s outlets are "all grinding out the same editorial line," and "hearken to the same master." There, the Vice President had a point. Mrs. Graham is not inclined to install top editors who stray too far from her own liberal views. It was perhaps unfortunate for her that when Newsweek's Lester Bernstein commented on Agnew's speech over CBS radio in New York, he chose precisely the same words used by Mrs. Graham. But a partial contradiction of Agnew's charge of monolithism was produced...
Nixon's political pitch in New Jersey was a broader one, accenting Republican efforts to combat crime, improve transportation and check pollution. Campaigning for Republican William Cahill, Nixon did not stray outside friendly Bergen and Morris Counties. They gave him a 96,000-vote plurality over Hubert Humphrey last year, though he carried the state by only 61,000 votes (out of nearly 3,000,000).

This innocent unworldliness, one of the redeeming features of peoples living under Communism, is as yet unspoiled by the worst aspects of Western culture now being imported for the sake of hard currency. As a tourist attraction, it beats striptease and roulette and is surely...
...field hospital, Nixon choppered twelve miles north to Di An, a 1st Infantry Division base camp. The security precautions were overwhelming: all of the Vietnamese base personnel were sent home four hours before Nixon arrived, and swarms of helicopter gunships buzzed warily overhead. Said one helicopter crewman: "If a stray dog had moved, he wouldn't have had a chance." The President bantered with some of the men about home towns and ball teams; he invited a soldier from San Clemente, Calif., to come for a swim at the new Nixon summer White House there. "Tell the Secret Service...
