Richard Nixon handwritten notes, from a collection of documents given to Nixon's biographer and New York Herald Tribune journalist Earl Mazo, who wrote, ''Richard Nixon: A Political and Personal Portrait''. Published in 1959, the book's source material was written near or before 1958 when Nixon served as Vice President under Eisenhower. Nixon's notes fall under three headings: ''Aims?'', ''Civil Rights'' and ''Reps versus Dems''. Under ''Aims'', he writes, ''Too many to mention / 1. Leisure / 2. 4 day week / 3. Urban Blight...5. Education - local - primarily / but Fed can't[?] supplant''. As a subcategory under education he writes, ''1. Teacher relations are disgraceful - / pride (which he has crossed out) pay, prestige''.
His notes under the ''Civil Rights'' heading read, ''...steady solid program - by law...Northern as well as South problem...Churches - one of weakest / Labor - throw weight around / R.T.W. [Right to Work] It won't accomplish the job - isn't aimed at right target''. On ''Reps Versus Dems'' Nixon writes, ''...Both are divided...Major Diff. - Economic - Radical / Civil Rights''. Single page of notes measures 8'' x 12.5''. Faint creasing, overall near fine condition.
