Nelson would like to be President of the United States. But, unfortunately for him, he is unacceptable to the vast majority of the grass roots of his own party. The next best thing to being President is controlling a President. Nelson Rockefeller and Richard Nixon are supposed to be bitter political competitors. In a sense they are, but that still does not preclude Rockefeller from asserting dominion over Mr. Nixon. When Mr. Nixon and Mr. Rockefeller competed for the Republican nomination in 1968, Rockefeller naturally would have preferred to win the prize, but regardless of who won, he would control the highest office in the land. You will recall that right in the middle of drawing up the Republican platform in 1960, Mr. Nixon suddenly left Chicago and flew to New York to meet with Nelson Rockefeller in what Barry Goldwater described as the \"Munich of the Republican Party.\" There was no political reason why Mr. Nixon needed to crawl to Mr. Rockefeller. He had the convention all sewed up. The Chicago Tribune cracked that it was like Grant surrendering to Lee. In The Making of the President, 1960, Theodore White noted that Nixon accepted all the Rockefeller terms for this meeting, including provisions \"that Nixon telephone Rockefeller personally with his request for a meeting; that they meet at the Rockefeller apartment…that their meeting be secret and later be announced in a press release from the Governor, not Nixon; that the meeting be clearly announced as taking place at the Vice President's request; that the statement of policy issuing from it be long, detailed, inclusive, not a summary communiqué.\" The meeting produced the infamous \"Compact of Fifth Avenue\" in which the Republican Platform was scrapped and replaced by Rockefeller's socialist plans. The Wall Street Journal of July 25, 1960, commented: \"…a little band of conservatives within the party…are shoved to the sidelines… [T]he fourteen points are very liberal indeed; they comprise a platform akin in many ways to the Democratic platform and they are a far cry from the things that conservative men think the Republican Party ought to stand for…\" As Theodore White put it: \"Never had the quadrennial liberal swoop of the regulars been more nakedly dramatized than by the open compact of Fifth Avenue. Whatever honor they might have been able to carry from their services on the platform committee had been wiped out. A single night's meeting of the two men in a millionaire's triplex apartment in Babylon-by-the-Hudson, eight hundred and thirty miles away, was about to overrule them; they were exposed as clowns for all the world to see.\" The whole story behind what happened in Rockefeller's apartment will doubtless never be known. We can only make an educated guess in light of subsequent events. But it is obvious that since that time Mr. Nixon has been in the Rockefeller orbit.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Gary Allen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/gary-allen/while-david-runs-the-financial-end-of-the-rockefeller-dynasty-nelson/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02a/gary-allen-90350_cfr_while-david-runs-the-financial-end-of-th_590576.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02a/gary-allen-90350_cfr_while-david-runs-the-financial-end-of-th_590576.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02a/gary-allen-90350_cfr_while-david-runs-the-financial-end-of-th_590576.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“While David runs the financial end of the Rockefeller dynasty, Nelson runs the political.
