IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

ident by Joe McGinnis were relucshytant to believe all the campaign tacshytics McGinnis attributed to the i xon team For instance he said that the citizen panels to wh ich Nixon preshysented himself for questioning on the issues actually were hand-picked Jy the Nixon staff and assigned ques- tions

For those who disbelieved that a Presidentinl candid~te could be so managed and processed there is the news that Nixons political operatIves are assem bling their own advetising agency to handle Richard Nixons forthcoming re-election campltlign Un like past campaigns in which ca tshydida tes hired est a blished advertising agencies to market them along wi th the agencys deodorants hair sprays and trips to Jamaica Nixons new agency will work solely at promoting

Richard Nixon The agency has a promiddot fessional advertising director who will recruit copy writers an whatevshyer creative specialists are nee ed to produce a complete TV advertising campaign

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

Less easily handled is the effect ihat the Richard Nixon Advertising

sy VL a f v I h ~

Agency may have on whats left of poshylitical reali ty Shortly the newagenshycy will start planning the Nixon ad c3mpaign The ads themselves an b~ easiy predicted Nixon Goes to Clushyna J ixon Goes to Russia Nixon Meets the Last Returning Troopship And right alongside should be a Nixshyon agency cameraman recordlllg film for next falls campaign

And let us assume that for the next 10 months or so Nixon knows thai the admen are ncnrby-watci1shying filming recording hoping to get some good footage for their Nixshyon ads Who then is the sometimes smiling sometimes grave man well see on the evening news he Prcsishyr

IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

ident by Joe McGinnis were relucshytant to believe all the campaign tacshytics McGinnis attributed to the i xon team For instance he said that the citizen panels to wh ich Nixon preshysented himself for questioning on the issues actually were hand-picked Jy the Nixon staff and assigned ques- tions

For those who disbelieved that a Presidentinl candid~te could be so managed and processed there is the news that Nixons political operatIves are assem bling their own advetising agency to handle Richard Nixons forthcoming re-election campltlign Un like past campaigns in which ca tshydida tes hired est a blished advertising agencies to market them along wi th the agencys deodorants hair sprays and trips to Jamaica Nixons new agency will work solely at promoting

Richard Nixon The agency has a promiddot fessional advertising director who will recruit copy writers an whatevshyer creative specialists are nee ed to produce a complete TV advertising campaign

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

Less easily handled is the effect ihat the Richard Nixon Advertising

sy VL a f v I h ~

Agency may have on whats left of poshylitical reali ty Shortly the newagenshycy will start planning the Nixon ad c3mpaign The ads themselves an b~ easiy predicted Nixon Goes to Clushyna J ixon Goes to Russia Nixon Meets the Last Returning Troopship And right alongside should be a Nixshyon agency cameraman recordlllg film for next falls campaign

And let us assume that for the next 10 months or so Nixon knows thai the admen are ncnrby-watci1shying filming recording hoping to get some good footage for their Nixshyon ads Who then is the sometimes smiling sometimes grave man well see on the evening news he Prcsishyr

IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

ident by Joe McGinnis were relucshytant to believe all the campaign tacshytics McGinnis attributed to the i xon team For instance he said that the citizen panels to wh ich Nixon preshysented himself for questioning on the issues actually were hand-picked Jy the Nixon staff and assigned ques- tions

For those who disbelieved that a Presidentinl candid~te could be so managed and processed there is the news that Nixons political operatIves are assem bling their own advetising agency to handle Richard Nixons forthcoming re-election campltlign Un like past campaigns in which ca tshydida tes hired est a blished advertising agencies to market them along wi th the agencys deodorants hair sprays and trips to Jamaica Nixons new agency will work solely at promoting

Richard Nixon The agency has a promiddot fessional advertising director who will recruit copy writers an whatevshyer creative specialists are nee ed to produce a complete TV advertising campaign

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

Less easily handled is the effect ihat the Richard Nixon Advertising

sy VL a f v I h ~

Agency may have on whats left of poshylitical reali ty Shortly the newagenshycy will start planning the Nixon ad c3mpaign The ads themselves an b~ easiy predicted Nixon Goes to Clushyna J ixon Goes to Russia Nixon Meets the Last Returning Troopship And right alongside should be a Nixshyon agency cameraman recordlllg film for next falls campaign

And let us assume that for the next 10 months or so Nixon knows thai the admen are ncnrby-watci1shying filming recording hoping to get some good footage for their Nixshyon ads Who then is the sometimes smiling sometimes grave man well see on the evening news he Prcsishyr

IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

ident by Joe McGinnis were relucshytant to believe all the campaign tacshytics McGinnis attributed to the i xon team For instance he said that the citizen panels to wh ich Nixon preshysented himself for questioning on the issues actually were hand-picked Jy the Nixon staff and assigned ques- tions

For those who disbelieved that a Presidentinl candid~te could be so managed and processed there is the news that Nixons political operatIves are assem bling their own advetising agency to handle Richard Nixons forthcoming re-election campltlign Un like past campaigns in which ca tshydida tes hired est a blished advertising agencies to market them along wi th the agencys deodorants hair sprays and trips to Jamaica Nixons new agency will work solely at promoting

Richard Nixon The agency has a promiddot fessional advertising director who will recruit copy writers an whatevshyer creative specialists are nee ed to produce a complete TV advertising campaign

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

Less easily handled is the effect ihat the Richard Nixon Advertising

IS LIKELY that many people) I T who read The Selling of the Presshy

ident by Joe McGinnis were relucshytant to believe all the campaign tacshytics McGinnis attributed to the i xon team For instance he said that the citizen panels to wh ich Nixon preshysented himself for questioning on the issues actually were hand-picked Jy the Nixon staff and assigned ques- tions

For those who disbelieved that a Presidentinl candid~te could be so managed and processed there is the news that Nixons political operatIves are assem bling their own advetising agency to handle Richard Nixons forthcoming re-election campltlign Un like past campaigns in which ca tshydida tes hired est a blished advertising agencies to market them along wi th the agencys deodorants hair sprays and trips to Jamaica Nixons new agency will work solely at promoting

Richard Nixon The agency has a promiddot fessional advertising director who will recruit copy writers an whatevshyer creative specialists are nee ed to produce a complete TV advertising campaign

One recalls that it w as Richard Nixon who contracted with Agnew and Associates to shred the news busshyiness for distorted and biased reportshying So next fall the public is to learn the truth about President lixon from the advertising profession

But this is one of the more beshynign ironies of ixons Presidency It was really only a malter of time bef r~ some politician set up his own ad Jgency to produce TV commershycials Nixon unsurprisingly got th ere first

It may be true that TV spots of Nelson Rockefeller up among the girders mingling with hard hats or of little I girls disappearing in a mushshyroom cloud have cheapened issues and candidates in pnst campaigns But there is little evidence that slick TV ads can mal~e an election

Less easily handled is the effect ihat the Richard Nixon Advertising

Agency may have on whats left of poshylitical reali ty Shortly the newagenshycy will start planning the Nixon ad c3mpaign The ads themselves an b~ easiy predicted Nixon Goes to Clushyna J ixon Goes to Russia Nixon Meets the Last Returning Troopship And right alongside should be a Nixshyon agency cameraman recordlllg film for next falls campaign

And let us assume that for the next 10 months or so Nixon knows thai the admen are ncnrby-watci1shying filming recording hoping to get some good footage for their Nixshyon ads Who then is the sometimes smiling sometimes grave man well see on the evening news he Prcsishyr
