Comments: The inscription by Marvin Kalb is likely a reference to the “Nixon Enemies List,” which Kalb joined due to his coverage of the Watergate scandal. The recipient of this book, William Safire, was a Pulitzer Prize winning conservative columnist for the New York Times. He was a frequent guest on Meet The Press, describing himself as the voice of “libertarian conservatives.” Before joining the New York Times, Safire served as a presidential speechwriter for President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew.
