This is a stupid article and not worth what it cost me to read it; which was nothing monetarily, but a waste of my time...which is valuable to me.
I knew people that knew him, like Al Haig, and that’s what they seemed to think.
Your time is just SO valuable that you took the time to post about what a waste of time this was for you. Uh huh.
Nopardons - my husband was Nixon’s dog walker when he moved to NYC. My husband was about 10 years old and would travel down from the Bronx to take the little dog on his walks. He liked Nixon very much. Tricia Nixon attended my college in NYC (several years after me) and everyone spoke highly of Mr. Nixon when he would visit the cafeteria to greet all the day students and shake the hands of the workers. He didn’t like going into the gorgeous dining rooms because they were full of snotty, rich girls! He preferred hanging out with ordinary people.
Nixon was a brilliant man and a good president. And, indeed, he was harried by the left. A good friend of mine and a Nixon-hater in the 50s always said: He was right! We were out to get him! Later on, this friend became a good friend of Roy Cohn and regretted his earlier hatred.
