Capitol Issues

Because of the evident White House hostility toward Vice President Agnew, the principal issue of the day in the Republic is: Does Mr. Nixon like Mr. Agnew?

Like him? He doesn’t even know him. They certainly haven’t been intimate since January 20, 1969 when Mr. Nixon moved into the White House and Mr. Agnew moved into his suite on the second floor of the Executive Office Building next door. Between Mr. Nixon and Mr. Agnew’ stood Messrs. Haldeman and Ehrlichman, who regarded Mr. Agnew with the same disdain they reserved for the other 535 men who are in Washington because people voted for them.
