'Selling Of President:' Saga Of A Con Job
"...

By PAUL IDEKEI1

College Press Service

If "The Selling of the President 1008" tells us anything, it
tells us that despite the recognized need, at the time, for a
political leader who could "bring
us together," Richard Nixon was
sold to the American voter
through a campaign which
white racism and took
an ignorant public for granted.
Joe McGinniss should be criticized only for not letting the
American people in on some of
the "behind scenes" manipulating which resulted in the election
of Richard Nixon as the 37th President of the United States while
they still could do something
about it. Now, in retrospect, the
soft-peddl-

book could easily be ret it led "Un-

derstanding Your President" and
promoted as a handbook for people who want to know why Nixon
is Nixon.

"The Selling of the President

1968" states, without reservation,
that the American people were
"sold" a bill of goods during
the Nixon campaign. Surrounded
by an expert team of media manipulators, Richard Nixon won on

One of those aides is quoted.

When a hint of substance did
creep into the Nixon campaign
it was carefully engineered to
a.3ure maximum results when
the voters went to the polls
every detail was examined and

evaluated.

A commercial entitled "Vietnam," which included a series of
"wounded soldier" pictures
backed with the Nixon "nonposi-tion- "
on ending the war, was
judged, according to McGinniss,
not acceptable for showing in the
South and Southwest by one of
Nixon's media men. "His reasoning was quite simple:" states
McGinniss, "A picture of a
wounded soldier was a reminder
that the' people who fight wars
get hurt. This, he (the aid) felt,
might cause resentment among
those Americans who got such
a big kick out of cheering for
wars from their Legion halls and

barrooms half a world away. So
bury the dead in silence . . .
before you blow North Carolina."
The major part of Nixon's

television campaign was centered
around hour long "man in the
arena" shows staged by the Nixon
media troops. Packed with local
members of Republican clubs for
affect, and including questions
tossed at the candidate by a panel
of average citizens, the shows
were geared at regional audiences. It was in this phase of the
campaign that McGinniss found
the greatest evidence of racism.
The feeling among the "engineers" was that a balanced panel
was essential.
"First, this meant a Negro.
One Negro. Not two. Two would
be offensive to whites, perhaps
to Negroes as well. Two would
be trying too hard. One was
necessary and safe. Fourteen percent of the population applied
to a six or seven member panel,

tricky, though. Do you have a
Negro and a
or if not, then which?"
McGinniss recalls in the book
a conversation which took place
while the "team" was preparing
for an arena spot that was to be
shot in Philadelphia:

U.S. News. and World Report
this week says that one of every

we're locked into the thing, anyway. Once you start it's hard
as hell to stop, because the press

The remark was intened for the
"forgotten Americans" but the
Nixon manipulators decided that
the black soldier would have to
go.

"We can t show a Negro Just

That's been one of their big
claims all along that the draft
is unfair to them and this could
be interpreted in a way that
would make us appear to be taking their side."
Later when the person directing the still commercials wanted
to do one on Black Capitalism

he encountered something that
no one on the Nixon staff could
understand. He had sent a photographer out to take some appropriate pictures!
"An hour after he started
work, the photographer called
Cene Jones and said when he
had started lining Negroes up
on the street to pose he had
been asked by a few young men
what he was doing. When he told
them he was taking pictures for
a Richard Nixon commercial, it
was suggested to him that he

should be called back to give a

The "new" Nixon of 1968 is

itself, ignorant and heedless of
our intended benefaction, moved
off, rocketlike, in a direction
opposite to where we were pointing. The department announced
rules emphasizing rigidity and

to emphasize freedom and flexibility, which almost tempts us
to see what would happen if
we now counseled rigidity. But

Well, how vague can you get?
It seems to us that the Department of Justice has pushed the
panic button an extremely dangerous thing to do because it is
liable to fulfill the fears it
spawns. Potential outrages suggested by the authorities and
published by the news media
serve as they did so conspicuously in Chicago at the Democratic Nation Convention of 1968
to heighten tension, promote
hatred and induce confrontation.
The department would be far
wiser to cool things off than to
heat them up.
But it is vital to bear in
mind that the great majority
of Americans who will be here
do not intend to break the law
at all. And the measures taken
to control the situation must
recognize their rights as well as
the concerns of public order.
These rights are much too valuable to be left in the hands
of security authorities alone. The

The population explosion is
one of major concern all over the
world. If the present rate of birth
is maintained, problems will be
tremendous. The "alarm" affects
not only our food sources, but also other factors such as living
space and psychological stress.
According to Rev. Baker, his

statistics show that the population will increase from three billion in 1900 to seven billion in the
year 2000. In addition, if the current rates persist, we can add one
billion for every five years thereafter. Although Dr. Davis said
that the projective predictions of
future growth are often absurd,
"we are facing a grave problem
for the future of mankind."
It was suggested that the
natural resources are quickly being diminished to the extent that
the ocean may not be capable
of alleviating the problem.
