Nixon was also artfully placating Southerners on certain sensitive issues. The Miami Herald managed to get a tape recorder into one of the private sessions (see THE PRESS). In the transcript it printed later, which Nixon's spokesmen did not knock down, he explained his public support of this year's open-housing civil rights bill as a matter of political tactics rather than conviction. "I felt then and I feel now," said the transcript, "that conditions are different in different parts of the country." But he wanted the issue "out of our sight" so as not to divide...
Understandably, some of the 1,500 reporters started looking elsewhere for stories. Most enterprising were those from the Miami Herald, who obviously took a proprietary pride in covering their home town. Herald reporters dogged Richard Nixon's footsteps. And where they could not follow, a tape recorder did. A helpful delegate carried one in his pocket to Nixon's meeting with some Southern delegations. The results made the biggest scoop of the week. Nixon assured the Dixie politicians that he had given only grudging support to the federal open-housing law, and felt such matters ought...

Since his days as a Seattle newsman, Saltonstall has been a longtime friend of Governor Dan Evans; he listened critically as the Governor delivered his keynote address into a tape recorder in Olympia. Before he flew off to Miami Beach with Evans, Saltonstall was able to give the editors in New York in advance a good idea of just what the G.O.P. keynote speech contained...
Cutting Red Taoe. Mostly in response to public indignation, early this month ten major insurance firms began testing a new claim-settling method intended to cut red tape and avoid costly litigation. It is also hoped that the new system will save money for the companies. In seven counties around Chicago, they will immediately offer an injured accident victim up to $5,000 for medical expenses. If the victim, who must be a resident of the area, agrees not to sue for more, the participating companies will also provide up to another $7,500 in quick cash to cover lost...
