- Election, Presidents, Press and politics, Non-Classifiable
Cheap booze. Flying fleshpots. Lack of sleep. Endless spin. Lying pols... Just a few of the snares lying in wait for the reporters who covered the 1972 presidential election. Traveling with the press pack from the June primaries to the big night in November, Rolling Stone reporter Timothy Crouse hopscotched the country with both the Nixon and McGovern campaigns and witnessed the birth of modern campaign journalism.
