I don't think Nixon started it.

You'll have to take that up with Mr. Buchanan, who claimed it, and Mr. Packer, who reported it. All I did was accept what I read and pass it along.

Tim, if you are interested in the argument, you should read Packer's piece. You can find it here.

Packer uses 1966 and Buchanan as something of a story beginning because of the memo Buchanan wrote in that year which served as a guideline for the 68 and 72 campaigns. Buchanan is quite proud of the memo. He shared it with Packer when Packer visited Buchanan for the article and then faxed him a copy of the memo which Packer put online.
