brown for the governorship of california and there we are campaign headquarters was wilshire boulevard and we were told to all assemble on a given day. i think it was in an august of '72 of 62 and and in came mr. nixon and and the thing about it. that's this interesting to me is he had been congressman senator vice president for eight years and he had about him this mystique. i mean in a former president a vice president and so he came in and he went around and he greeted all the staff and shook hands ask us some questions. i like to point out that there was one young man standing there talking to him who ended up being mayor of san diego congressman senator governor of the state of california. it was pete wilson, and he was with us that day. and then but that was sort of just a grip and grin with nixon at that point. you didn't because also there was hr bob haldeman who was your mentor and boss at jay walter thompson and who introduced you into nixon circle because i think the story of how and why he had to do that tells a lot about richard nixon's personality, right? i i always had t

he decided to run against pat brown for the governorship of california.ur campaign headquarters was on wilshire boulevard. we were told to all assemble on a given day. i think it was august of 62. in came mr. nixon. one thing that was interesting to me had been congressman, senator, vice president for eightea years. he had about him this mystique. he went around and greeted all the staff and shook hands and asked some questions. i like to point out there is the one young man standing there talking to him. who ended up being san diego, congressman senator governor of california pete wilson. he was with us that day. and then i was also there hr bob haldeman who was short mentor and boss at j walter thompson. he introduce you into nixon's circle. how and why he t had to do that tells a lot about richard nixon's personality. >> quickset always had the help who's who job. my parents insisted on it. i did not have a job in the summer of 1962. and dad arranged for me too go down and interview that nixon for governort headquarters. i went in there and ate young l

she was one of pat's best friend of one of the people who knew mrs. nixon best of also those were fulll of letters there were an edited unredacted that really gave me a sense of mrs. nixon as a person and a personal relationship she had. and the julie nixon eisenhower collection mrs. nixon's daughter's collection was excellent and the course more personal and then of course the national archive site and are histories. i used a number of fees that were excellent. and connie stuart was essentially mrs. nixon's chief of staff. that was just excellent and the central files and special files of the white house with the john ehrlichman papers which turned out to be extremely important. and there are many more. i weeks and weeks at the library and there's there is no substitute for being on site yourself to get your hands on these documents and a half to see them for yourself in person to get a sense of what you need and what you don't need but it was just a vast amount of material to go through and the foundation and the national archives just made it easy

the niners apparently had him traded to the pats and the browns.nt to keep him after all. what's the latest on brandon? >> well, the 40 niners basically tried to trade him. and between either not getting the compensation that they wanted or aiyuk not getting a deal that he wanted, they're sort of stuck with each other at this point, even though aiyuk wants to go to the steelers, the niners don't like what they're offering. so now the 40 niners and aiyuk are back at the negotiating table trying to work out a long term extension. hopefully they can get this done because if the niners aren't going to trade him to pittsburgh and that's the only place he wants to go. it's either play for san francisco or don't play at all. i don't think that's going to happen. so hopefully they can hammer this thing out. >> yeah, i think he wants to get paid period. at least his 14 million. whether he gets a new deal or not. what's your take on sitting starters in some cases not even suiting up for a preseason game? i mean, brock purdy, he's healthy. why not play a coup
