MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. HALDEMAN
FROM:
HERBERT G. KLEIN
RE:
Mr. Higby's request of February 8
I would list the ten most powerful columnists who "aren't
against us" as follows:
James J. Kilpatrick
Joseph Alsop
William S. White
C. L. Sulzberger
Richard Wilson
Kevin Phillips
William F. Buckley
David Broder
David Lawrence
Roscoe Drummond
I would add six more who while perhaps not as powerful,
count a great deal:
Crosby Noyes
Alan Otten
Richard Chamberlain
Nick Thimmesch
Holmes Alexander
Jerry Greene
The question of the six "most powerful national TV
commentators who are "for us" is more difficult. It
depends on how you define commentator. I would include
the following:
Howard K. Smith
Herb Kaplow
Walter Cronkite (neutral)
Peter Hackes
Merv Griffin
William F. Buckley
There are also several favorable commentators on a
regional basis such as George Putnam, KTTV and Bob Abernathy,
NBC in Los Angeles.
