I have nothing nice to say about Nixon. Well, >let us be more precise. The two nice things I have to say about him Arnold's summary of Richard Nixon is the only one on the net so far that comes close to the truth. And, yes, it does leave out the sorry fact that the man overstepped the bounds of decency and showed signs of being the out-and-out scoundrel he is, from the very first beginnings of his sorry political career. It is very discouraging evidence that he was able to make his way and be "successful" though all of this was known, and it is even more discouraging that now this man is being sort of rehabilitated. Recently Senator Barry Goldwater, who back in the '60's was a political ally of Nixon's, was interviewed on TV, and asked about former presidents with whom he has served. Re. Nixon he simply said: the most dishonest I've ever known (not exact quote, but not in any way unfair either way).
