There was no formal news conference, no crush of reporters, no tangle of television cables. The announcement came by means of an open letter-under a plain letterhead reading "Richard M. Nixon, New York, New York"-that was delivered by messenger boys to the Associated Press and United Press International in Manhattan. As a personal touch, 150,000 copies were mailed to voters in New Hampshire. Addressed "to the citizens of New Hampshire," Nixon's letter recalled his 14 years of Washington service and the forced retirement that followed his narrow defeat for the presidency...
...document bears an impressive-sounding letterhead, and the language is unmistakably legal. What it says is that a named person has died, leaving an unclaimed estate. "The heirs of said deceased are unknown," the message explains, and an inquiry is being made of many people with the same last name on the chance that one might be the rightful heir. If you are interested in further information, would you please send a $6 "copy fee" to cover the cost of obtaining "duplicates of documents filed," so that you might better ascertain whether you have a claim...
...movements were forming in scores of cities, aiming at blocking his renomination or at least embarrassing him with strong anti-L.B.J. showings in the primaries.

Once it lost $125,000 in business when a list of 40,000 would-be customers was mistakenly destroyed. Under a garish, multicolored letterhead, its owner once answered a formal appointment request by advising "I am personally away more or less." When he died of a heart ailment during a Florida vacation last week at 94, L. L. (for Leon Leonwood) Bean left a $4,000,000-a-year backwoods bonanza that could have been...
...Letterhead. Not in California certainly. Pat Brown ran for the state assembly as a Republican in 1928, vowed on becoming Governor that he would follow the illustrious example of Earl Warren and Hiram Johnson, Republicans both. Actor George Murphy, once a New Deal Democrat, was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Republican in 1964. And Ronnie Reagan was once an outspoken Roosevelt-Truman Democrat and A.D.A. activist. As president of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, he could not believe that he was being gulled by Communist officials, as he admits today, and himself earned a reputation as a fellow...
