...Clark MacGregor took over as campaign manager when John Mitchell resigned, and has been bringing some order to chaos. Gradually, Republican moguls who would talk only to Mitchell are beginning to talk to MacGregor. Not that Mitchell has vanished. His law office is located in the same building as the C.R.P., and he often drops by or rings up. He takes a particular interest in New York, a state he thinks Nixon has an excellent chance of winning. Remaining as before a confidant of the President, he is a dour and formidable figure.

Despite Mitchell's sudden departure from the committee leadership, it is clear that the former Attorney General is not out of the campaign. Says MacGregor: "Mitchell will spend some time each week physically in Washington, and the rest of the time he will be as close as the telephone." The Mitchells are planning to move to New York from Washington, but it is not yet clear when. A White House aide summed it up: "I think that Big John will be chairman of the board. I don't see him that much gone." But then who really runs...
