I asked Richard Nixon after his first meeting with Bill Clinton.</blockquote><blockquote>"You know," Mr. Nixon replied, "he came from dirt and I came from dirt. He lost a gubernatorial race and came back to win the Presidency, and I lost a gubernatorial race and came back to win the Presidency. He overcame a scandal in his first campaign for national office and I overcame a scandal in my first national campaign. We both just gutted it out. He was an outsider from the South and I was an outsider from the West."</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">...<br /> He thought the Whitewater affair could pose serious problems. When I pointed out that the poll numbers reflected no damage to Mr. Clinton's popularity, Mr. Nixon observed that Watergate had not hurt him either, until the televised Senate hearings.

It’s not a political statement, but a daily reminder that in life, when you get knocked down, when you strive for something and you fail, when you are disappointed and discouraged, you have an obligation to get up off the canvas and get back in the fight. It’s about resilience and persistence.<br /><br />‘Until one has been in the deepest valley, one cannot appreciate the majesty of the highest mountain top,’ Nixon said. ‘A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is only finished when he quits.’<br /><br />After my release on bail, I flashed Nixon’s famous ‘V for Victory’ sign on the courtroom steps. Two years of fake news reports that I would be charged with Russian collusion, conspiracy and treason have neither destroyed my spirit, nor my resolve to fight for exoneration. Like Nixon, I am not a quitter. This November, I will fight for <a href="https://spectator.us/roger-stone-will-vindicated/">total exoneration</a> in my trial. I am not guilty, and I intend to prove it.</span></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/roger-stone-found-guilty-obstruction-false-statements-and-witness-tampering">A jury found him guilty</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Trump pardoned him. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://twitter.com/RogerJStoneJr/status/1600601103502086158?s=20&t=kG0Nl94gjrE2ayHR2bAwzw">Musk just reinstated him.</a></span></p><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Lessons</span></div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=7Tp3AAAAMAAJ&q=%22+best+way+to+fire+up+your+troops%22&dq=%22+best+way+to+fire+up+your+troops%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiEv83y8oniAhWGqZ4KHfe9Ac4Q6AEIQDAE">From <i>In the Arena</i></a>: "Politics is battle, and the best way to fire up your troops is to rally them against a visible opponent on the other side of the field.

Impeachment would remove a President from office, but would not address the underlying culpability of the conduct or serve the usual purposes of the criminal law. Indeed, the Impeachment Judgment Clause recognizes that criminal law plays an independent role in addressing an official's conduct, distinct from the political remedy of impeachment. See U.S. CONST. ART.l, § 3, cl. 7. Impeachment is also a drastic and rarely invoked remedy, and Congress is not restricted to relying only on impeachment, rather than making criminal law applicable to a former President, as OLC has recognized.

O.L.C. at 255 ("Recognizing an immunity from prosecution for a sitting President would not preclude such prosecution once the President 's term is over or he is otherwise removed from office by resignation or impeachment.").</blockquote><br style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.4px;" /><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/ford-pardons-nixon-in-1974/2017/07/21/c83efd54-6e3b-11e7-abbc-a53480672286_video.html" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; text-decoration-line: none;">Ford pardons Nixon</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;">. </span><a href="http://watergate.info/1974/09/08/text-of-ford-pardon-proclamation.html" style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; text-decoration-line: none;">The proclamation</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;">:</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;">I, GERALD R.

In fact, it was the displeasure of one White House aide with the think tanks of the time that led to creation of the Heritage Foundation in the first place. In 1970, a small delegation of conservatives met with the Nixon White House staffer Lyn Nofziger to discuss how to get research support for conservative ideas in Congress. When one of the participants mentioned the American Enterprise Institute, Nofziger had a visceral reaction. Paul Weyrich, who was at the meeting, <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/transcript/?id=7958" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: none;">recalled that</a> Nofziger said: “‘AEI? AEI—I'll tell you about AEI.’ And he got up, walked over to a bookcase, took a study off the shelf and literally blew the dust—I mean, you saw this cloud of dust. And he said, ‘That's what they're good for. They're good for libraries.’” The beer mogul Joseph Coors, who was also at the meeting, decided as a result to back the initiative that became the Heritage Foundation. </span></blockquote><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://movies2.nytimes.com/books/first/e/edwards-ideas.html" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: none;">The origins of Heritage</a><br /><br />Polarization: Democrats Move Left, Then Republicans Move Right<br /><br /><a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/1972-democratic-party-platform" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: none;">1972 Democratic Platform</a><br /></span><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">.It is time now to rethink and reorder the institutions of this country so that everyone—women, blacks, Spanish-speaking, Puerto Ricans, Indians, the young and the old—can participate in the decision-making process inherent in the democratic heritage to which we aspire.

I was the assistant director of the Cost of Living Council, supervising 3,000 agents trying to enforce wage/price controls. I always remember a debate we had. This was in 1972 during the reelection campaign, the Nixon administration, when the public was convinced that food prices were going up, so the political debate was whether or not we should re-impose a freeze on food prices. But in reality, if you looked at the consumer price index, the food component, it hadn't budged in six months. There had been absolutely no increase in food prices whatsoever. But we had a meeting in the Cabinet room where we argued about whether or not we should put controls back on food prices. And at one point President Nixon spoke up and quoted... "Sometimes in order to be a statesman you have to be a politician for a while. And when the people see an imaginary river out there, the politician doesn't say, 'There's no river there'; he builds an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river. Therefore we ought to control food prices." That struck me. It captured a lot of the dangers, even though best intentions can get you in trouble with respect to too much government involvement in the community.... But especially it's dangerous when you get to the point where you're working off misperceptions and trying to build a government policy that's not based on fact and on reality and on truth, but rather on the myth that somehow there's an imaginary river there. You don't say to the public, "There's no river there"; you say, "Okay, we'll put an imaginary bridge over your imaginary river.</span></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;">Third World Politics</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif;" /></span><ul style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em; text-align: left;"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><a href="https://academic.oup.com/afraf/article/116/465/705/4106239?login=true">Biafra -- intelligence and the Cold War (Hoff, 245-246)</a></span></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB79/">India/Pakistan/Bangladesh</a></span></li><ul><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CimHXD8evVk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></li></ul><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chile: <a href="https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/search/site/chile" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: none;">CIA material</a> and <a href="https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/project/chile-documentation-project" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: none;">National Security Archive</a></span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1977/05/26/archives/excerpts-from-nixon-interview-on-agnew-chile-and-his-decision-to.html">1977 Frost/Nixon:</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: large;"><div></div></span></div><blockquote><div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: large;"><div>A.

They didn't predict what was going to happen in Cambodia. They didn't predict there was going to be the Yom Kippur War. As far as the C.I.A. was concerned, at that point, and now I understand it is being improved, and I trust it will be under the new leadership, at that point its intelligence estimates were not very good on Latin America. I also go back to the point that in terms of what we really have here in Chile. I remember months before Allende came to power in 1970. An Italian businessman came to call on me in the Oval Office and he said, “If Allende should win the election in Chile, and then you have Castro in Cuba, what you will in effect have in Latin America is a red sandwich, and eventually it will all be red.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Q.

We knew that even as the debate in Congress over an American ABM was raging, the Soviets had initiated work on more ICBMs and ABMs, as well as major new radar systems in conjunction with their deployment; they were also building additional submarine missiles. I felt that tactically we needed the ABM as a bargaining chip for negotiations with the Soviets: they already had an ABM system, so if we went into negotiations without one we might have to give up something else, perhaps something more vital. In that sense, we had to have it in order to be able to agree to forgo it. I tried to persuade Congress that what the ABM vote represented was really a philosophical turning point in America’s strategic credibility.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v34/d25">From the State Dept:</a><br /></span><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">The administration ultimately won the ABM battle. Congress did not actually pass the bill authorizing spending on defense projects, including the ABM, until November 9. But the Senate effectively approved Safeguard on August 6 [1969], when, by votes of 51–49 and 50–50, it defeated amendments that, if adopted, would have prohibited all funding for the system’s deployment. Vice President Agnew cast the tie-breaking ballot in the latter vote. The next day Nixon wrote a memorandum in which he directed Kissinger, Ehrlichman, and H.R. Haldeman to get “out the true story,” which was that the ABM victory was a result and reflection of the “Nixon Style.” The President urged them to “point out that RN made the decision to tackle ABM head on against the advice of most of his major advisers, including particularly the State Department.”</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">... </span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">In his memoirs, Nixon concluded, “I am absolutely convinced that had we lost the ABM battle in the Senate, we would not have been able to negotiate the first nuclear arms control agreement in Moscow in 1972.” (Nixon, RN, page 418)</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><a href="https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v15/d168">Kissinger and Brezhnev (Hoff 184)</a><br /><br />Dictator Humor:<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_-wtBqgU1NU" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Soviet Jews: take your pick on which is the real Nixon<br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OKoqIqQ0E08" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><i>RN: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon</i>, page 876:<br /><br /></span><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">I have never had any illusions about the brutally repressive nature of Soviet society. But I knew that the more public pressure we placed on Soviet leaders, the more intransigent they would become…. I felt that we could accomplish a great deal more on the Jewish emigration issue when we were talking with the Soviets than when we were not. Although we did not publicly challenge the Soviet contention that these questions involved Soviet internal affairs, both Kissinger and I raised them privately with Brezhnev, Gromyko, and Dobrynin. This approach brought results…. [T]he statistics are proof of undeniable success: from 1968 to 1971 only 15,000 Jews were allowed to emigrate. In 1972 alone, however, the number jumped to 31,400. In 1973, the last full year of my presidency, nearly 35,000 were permitted to leave.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.csmonitor.com/1995/1024/24191.html">Intel Failure: a former CIA Soviet analyst:</a></div><div><blockquote><div>In fact, the CIA exaggerated the strength of the Soviet economy and military, underestimated the burden of Soviet defense spending, and ignored Mr. Gorbachev's efforts to conduct a strategic retreat and to engage the United States in a series of disarmament agreements.</div><div><br /></div><div>The memoirs of Secretary of State George Shultz and Gen.

Richard Nixon, not yet 40 years old, was elected to the U.S. Senate from California, he received an invitation to a Georgetown dinner party. Every Sunday night, columnist Joe Alsop assembled some of his friends, usually high ranking officials at the CIA and State Department, with a few journalists and politicians thrown in, to dine and drink (copiously) at his house at 2720 Dumbarton Ave. Alsop and his pals wanted to take the measure of young Nixon, who was seen as a rising star in the Republican Party. Alsop’s weekly dinner, known in his circle as “the Sunday Night Supper,” was intimidating to Nixon. Alsop’s friends had gone to Harvard or Yale and carried themselves with assurance. Nixon and his wife, Pat, who had little experience in high society, were visibly uncomfortable as they arrived, recalled Tish Alsop, the wife of Joe’s brother and fellow columnist, Stewart Alsop. It did not help that Nixon’s host forgot his name and introduced him as “Russell Nixon.” At dinner, Ambassador Averell Harriman, a crusty old school diplomat who was slightly deaf, loudly announced, “I will not break bread with that man!”</span></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.epicjourney2008.com/2019/02/retribution-trump-and-nixon.html">Retribution against the media </a><br /><br /><b>Wartime President</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/remarks-anaheim-california">In Anaheim, RN reacts to the San Jose incident (Matthews 288-289):</a><br /></span></p><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">And now, I turn to an event related to all this, that occurred in San Jose yesterday.

For almost two centuries the system of the Electoral College has somehow worked, albeit just barely at times, and at other times even doubtfully. Every four years the American democracy places a large, unacceptable, and unnecessary wager that it will work one more time, that somehow an institution that never in any event functioned the way the framers of the Constitution anticipated, will somehow confer the Presidency on that candidate who obtains the largest number of votes. The Electoral College need not do so. Indeed on occasion it has not done so. But far more importantly--whatever the popular vote--it need not confer the Presidency on any candidate, if none has a majority of the electoral vote.</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">Our ability to change this system in time for the 1972 elections is a touchstone of the impulse to reform in America today. It will be the measure of our ability to avert calamity by anticipating it.</span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">As I stated in my October 1969 message, I originally favored other methods of reforming the electoral college system, but the passage by the House of a direct popular election plan indicated that this thoroughly acceptable reform could be achieved, and I accordingly supported it. Unfortunately, the Senate has not completed action. Time is running out. But it is still possible to pass the measure and to amend the Constitution in time for the 1972 elections.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><a href="https://www.infoplease.com/history-and-government/government-officials/cabinet-members-under-nixon">Nixon cabinet</a><br /><br />Notice something about the demographics?</span><br /><br /><img alt="Image result for nixon cabinet 1968" height="273" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CzZpPBUXcAIVbl3.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">The 1969 inaugural:</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /></div></div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ipyhSEvfaUs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236983214714057183.post-61154167503928083522022-10-06T09:54:00.000-07:002022-10-06T09:54:50.539-07:00Second Assignment, Fall 2022<p><span style="font-size: large;"> Choose one:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">Pick any member of the Nixon White House staff (e.g., Haldeman, Buchanan, Moynihan).

Wallace may not be tougher on law and order than Nixon or Humphrey, but he verbalizes the wish to lash out against those who offend in a way that more restrained and responsible leaders would never do in an age of violence such as we live in...If any anarchist (the Wallace word for "demonstrator") lies down in front of a Wallace motorcade, "it will be the last car he ever lies down in front of." If students fly the Viet Cong flag in a Wallace administration, "I would have me an Attorney General that would drag them in by their long hair and ..." You rarely hear the last words of Wallace's threats, because they are lost in the roar from his crowd. "Crowd" is perhaps too polite a word. When Wallace has finished his harangue, the emotion is closer to that of a lynch mob -- a pack of angry, frustrated men and women, who see his cause, not just as a chance for victory but as a guarantee of vengeance against all who have affronted them for so long.</span></li></ul></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Nixon spot foreshadows future "decision" ads.</p><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iFf0lps3NhQ" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7yr7odFUARg" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />Wallace<br /><br /> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4RZ4G251WR4" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Vietnam</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">HHH in Salt Lake</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Bombing halt -- NIXON THOUGHT IT WAS A DIRTY TRICK</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">REMEMBER THE CHINA LOBBY? </span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/88c90c54-574f-4474-9050-19e1a5d8d88d/the-1968-presidential-campaign-video-ken-burns-lynn-novick-the-vietnam-war/">The Chennault Affair (Nelson 215-216): among the worst things Nixon ever did</a>.</span></li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/31/opinion/sunday/nixons-vietnam-treachery.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Haldeman's notes confirm Nixon's complicity</span></b></a></li></ul><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Why does Humphrey close?<br /><br /><a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/2392/presidential-races-can-change-significantly-election-day-approaches.aspx">Gallup</a><br /></span><br /><img height="366" src="http://media.gallup.com/POLL/Releases/nhw68.gif" width="640" /><br /><br /><br /></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236983214714057183.post-68041926772554368612022-09-29T10:57:00.000-07:002022-09-29T10:57:49.753-07:001968<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;">For Tuesday, Matthews ch 20, Nelson ch. 6-7</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>Via Smithsonian: <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/timeline-seismic-180967503/">January-August 1968</a><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/annual-message-the-congress-the-state-the-union-29">January 17:</a> In his State of the Union Address, LBJ says: "The number of South Vietnamese living in areas under Government protection tonight has grown by more than a million since January of last year."</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">January 23: North Korea seizes the USS Pueblo, claiming the surveillance ship strayed into its waters.

The Nixon family even established itself in an apartment on Fifth Avenue in the same building as Nixon's old political nemesis, Nelson Rockefeller. The choice seemed a sign of both Nixon's new affluence and his banked fires. In honor of Nixon's arrival, my law firm renamed itself, becoming Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander. Nixon did his part for the firm, meeting with clients and discussing legal strategy. I even recruited him to make an argument to the Supreme Court, which he did with undisputed distinction.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.oyez.org/cases/1965/22">Nixon argues for Hill in <i>Time v. Hill</i></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.abajournal.com/gallery/nixon_in_new_york/1712">Victor Li:</a><br /></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">Nixon, made two oral arguments before the high court, which was headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren (pictured), a longtime political rival and personal enemy of Nixon’s. Ironically, Warren ended up voting for Nixon’s clients—albeit in a losing effort. Time (Life’s parent company) prevailed. To his chagrin, Warren would eventually deliver the oath of office to Nixon—months before retiring from the Supreme Court and handing a vacancy to his longtime nemesis.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">Abe Fortas also voted for RN's clients. Fortas was an LBJ crony whose nomination to be chief justice would be a significant episode in the politics of 1968.<br /><br />In a 1967 issue of <i>Foreign Affairs</i> (see Matthews 256-257), Nixon deliberately sends a signal to Beijing:<br /></span><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">Taking the long view, we simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations, there to nurture its fantasies, cherish its hates and threaten its neighbors. There is no place on this small planet for a billion of its potentially most able people to live in angry isolation. But we could go disastrously wrong if, in pursuing this long- range goal, we failed in the short range to read the lessons of history.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"><br />THE COMEBACK KID<br /><br />Garment recalls that RN was using the law firm as a political headquarters.<br /></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"> If diversity was what he wanted, diversity was what he got. When it came to Nixon's speechwriters, his balancing act worked pretty well. One of the first staffers to join the group was Pat Buchanan, who arrived shortly after Nixon settled into the firm's offices at 20 Broad Street. Buchanan joined Rose Woods in the small office adjoining Nixon's and started to do all of the nascent campaign's routine political writing—letters, speeches, articles, memos to possible political allies. He was to become one-third of the presidential speechwriting team.</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-size: large;"> Buchanan hailed from a Father Coughlin—style, America First family in Washington, D.C. He had been an editorial writer before joining the campaign and could talk about one subject while simultaneously writing about another, pausing in conversation only to rip pages of perfect copy out of his machine. He was quick-tempered and sometimes a bully but a cheerful and witty one.</span></blockquote><p><br /></p><p> </p><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">11/22/63</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
