Ideas are much more fatal than guns." To suggest even re- motely that the Nixon Administration takes a Leninist attitude toward the press is patently absurd. The Washington Post ran a calm ed- itorial the day after the Montgomery speech, characterizing it as "temperate and thoughtful ... and in no way men- acing on its face." There is indeed plen- ty to criticize about contemporary U.S. journalism—all the more so because the press and TV make little effort at self- criticism or self-examination. In fact, some of the vulnerable areas were not touched upon by the Vice President. Bold, not Blond. In television it can be argued that far from being to opin- ionated, news is not opinionated and hard-hitting enough. Among the more thought-provoking responses to Agnew was a speech by Fred Friendly to the Cal- ifornia Institute of Technology. Urging "bolder, not blander illumination" of is- sues on television, Friendly recalled re- gretfully that when he was president of CBS News in 1964. he decided against analysis of President Johnson's Gulf of Tonkin speech. Edward R. Murrow, for one, immediately phoned Friendly to de- plore the omission. "I shall always be- lieve," Friendly said last week, "that if journalism had done its job properly that night and in the days following, America might have been spared some of the agony that followed the Tonkin Gulf resolution." In print journalism, on the other hand, a legitimate subject of concern is the growing phenomenon of reporters who are becoming participants in rather than observers of events (TIME, Oct. 24). On Moratorium Day in October, thousands of newsmen signed petitions for peace, joined in rallies and donned buttons or armbands. During this month's Mor- atorium activities, reporter participation was less pronounced but still present. (Not all the involved newsmen, it should be noted, were against the war. The Chat- tanooga Times. in fact, carried both pro- and antiwar ads bought by groups of their own reporters.) Managements face the difficult ques- tion of where a reporter's civic right to be involved in politics ends and his jour- nalistic duty to be fair and detached be- gins. Many young journalists have been raised in an atmosphere of advocacy, and are not willing to accept the tra- ditional rules about journalistic detach- ment. When Agnew prescribes a "high wall" between comment and news, he makes a hoary, oversimplified demand for what is impos.sible--"objectivity." But questions of journalistic fairness and variety or uniformity of opinion are valid issues for debate. The U.S. press, far from feeling intimidated, ought to welcome Agnew's challenge—and re- ply as vigorously as it sees fit The re- sult could make The Spiro Agnew Show and its successors (The Dean Burch Hour? The Ronald Reagan Review?) into a regular and fascinating TV series. TIME, NOVEMBER 28, 1969 .

What is not widely known is how close the United States came to falling in line with the rest of the world.

  • Roberts Papers, 1973-77
    John W. “Bill” Roberts Papers, 1973-77 Oral Diary, July 24-September 12, 1974 In 1991, Bill Roberts donated to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library 14 linear feet of papers covering his work as an assistant press secretary to Gerald R. Ford during both the vice presidency and presidency. The collection includes Roberts's personal observations and recollections, which he tape- recorded every few days during July, August, and September 1974. These recollections, on four audio cassettes, provide insight into the last days of the Ford vice presidency, the transition to the presidency, and the persons and personalities involved in the events. The diary begins and ends abruptly, and it is sporadic. It covers only this brief period in time and is not part of a more complete diary. The Ford Library created the transcript that appears on succeeding pages of this document. Roberts, 7/24/74-9/12/74 - 1 July 24, 1974 Wednesday I'm starting this recording on July 24th. On the morning of July 24th, the Supreme Court, 8-0, ordered the President to surrender the tapes. The Vice President heard about this shortly after the Court decision was made public and decided that he wouldn't say anything as far as the press was concerned until or unless the President made some sort of response. We had quite a problem in fending off the press inquiries which were coming in at a great rate. The complicating factor was that CBS that day had chosen and been given the chance to follow the Vice President wherever he went, photograph him, and do a day in the life of the Vice President.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

In Reckless Pursuit: Barry Goldwater, A Team of Amateurs and the Rise of Conservatism Department of History, Union College, June 2014 ADVISOR: Andrew J. Morris, Ph.D. Before 1964, Barry Goldwater had never lost an election. In fact, despite being the underdog in both of his U.S. Senate elections in Arizona, in 1952 and 1958, he defied the odds and won. His keen ability for organization, fundraising and strategy was so widely respected that his Republican colleagues appointed the freshman senator to chair their campaign committee in 1955, with conservatives and liberals alike requesting his aid during contentious elections.
