Regular Touch

Politico on Bill Safire and the Nixon family:

Ed Cox, a New York layer active in conservative circles and the son-in-law of Richard Nixon said that Safire “will be known for his intelligence and his grasp of public events and he contributed a lot to our national dialogue by his always insightful columns in the New York Times.”

Cox said that he and Safire were in touch over the years, but that he had not talked with his former colleague in the most recent months. He said that Safire “always remained thoughtful about the Nixon family and we were in regular touch with him.”
