The biggest difference between Kennedy and Nixon, as far as the press is concerned, is simply this: Jack Kennedy really liked newspaper people and he really enjoyed sparring with journalists.
The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.
They cut about seven minutes from that broadcast, but it was still vital to the story's momentum.
We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.
Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.
I give Cronkite a whole lot of credit.
