...Publisher Walter Annenberg (the Philadelphia Inquirer, TV Guide, the Daily Racing Form), 60, will reportedly get the prized job of Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. The London appointment has often gone to a wealthy campaign supporter-to Joseph Kennedy under F.D.R., to John Hay Whitney under Eisenhower-and Annenberg fills that bill precisely. His Triangle Publications has become a $200 million-a-year empire; Annenberg is known in Philadelphia as a tough man to cross. He is an old, trusted friend of Nixon, and the President-elect stayed at his Palm Springs home shortly after...
...Oklahoman Bud Wilkinson, 52, ex-football coach, will be a special consultant on reducing the number of proliferating presidential commissions. A TV sports commentator, Wilkinson moderated a number of Nixon's local TV question-and-answer programs during the campaign.

Only 75 witnesses, sheriffs and newsmen are allowed in the 8th floor courtroom of the Hall of Justice. Others must watch the proceedings on closed-circuit TV four floors below...

If this is a frighteningly vague guideline, it is so of necessity. No one can evade the responsibility of choosing a position on the basis of the facts of a particular situation by taking...
...Cabinet appointments he has made since the TV show, Nixon has only reinforced his Cabinet's image. Henry Cabot Lodge seems to be Nixon's idea of the man to appoint when he needs a "diplomatic expert" and has no one else handy to fill the post. His choice of Lodge as his running mate in 1960 had the same reasoning behind it. Robert W. Packard is another of Nixon's Big Businessmen; an electronics tycoon, he must dispose of $300 million in stock before he takes the Assistant Secretary of Defense...
