TRB says RN will face continuing embarrassment on Watergate\nafter Nov. and it could tarnish the luster of a 2nd term.\nRoche says the mood of the press corps is one of the most interesting\naspects of the campaign. \"Not since Ike occupied the WH have I sensed\nsuch a feeling of surliness\" on their part. Ike didn't care what the pundits\nthought; JFK conned and cultivated the press and 'played the intellectuals\nNote\nlike salmon\"; LBJ took intellectuals and commentators seriously\nand perhaps \"far too seriously. 11 But, says Roche, RN has ended the\npageantry of the press as House of Lords. 11 He's committed the\nunforgiveable sin -- simply ignoring them. With the campaign going\nso well, even the election hasn't forced RN to pay them attention.\nThus, \"depression is rampant\" among the corps. And the rumor is that\nif e-elected, RN will hold an annual press conf. on the model of de Gaulle.\n\"A number of leading Wash. correspondents are allegedly applying for\nZ-He-1! combat duty in Belfast, Israel, and even Uganda, 11 says Roche."
