Description
The agony and excitement of the 2004 Presidential campaign between Bush and Kerry echoed the mad frenzy of earlier, "low-tech" campaigns. In important ways, little has really changed in the fundamental nature of presidential campaigns, presidential politics, and presidential lives. In these pages, a Nixon man shares incidents and anecdotes that illuminate the inner workings of a presidential campaign and life in the White House, revealing touching moments and flashes of personality from the controversial Nixon years. These are small items, some serious, some humorous; telling little moments not likely to be addressed in the writings of more famous authors. This is a collection of the stories that contribute to the drama of a campaign, of views from Pennsylvania Avenue, and with them some opinions on several White House personalities. * Charles Stuart joined Richard Nixon's campaign staff in 1967 and toured the US, hunting up voters to win his candidate the election. (He has since then hunted big game in many of the Western states, British Columbia and Mongolia.) He was invited in 1968 to join the White House staff, where he served as assistant to President Nixon's adviser John Ehrlichman and later to his chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman; his wife, Connie, was Mrs. Nixon's Staff Director and Press Secretary. After the heady life of political speculation, Stuart settled down and became a land developer. He has owned several companies and helped found a bank. The Stuarts live in a Maryland manor house constructed by George Washington's personal physician. * "Charles Stuart writes with heart and humor an insider's account of what it is like to be at the center of a campaign and apresidency." Julie Nixon Eisenhower
