...Government, Ben-Veniste told the jurors, will show that $25,000 of some $400,000 secretly paid to the seven men first convicted in the 1972 burglary and wiretapping of Democratic national headquarters came originally from Bebe Rebozo, Nixon's longtime personal pal. The cash was picked up at Key Biscayne on Mitchell's orders by Frederick LaRue, a Mitchell assistant...
...When we arrived 15 years ago, we were refugees and wanted to stay as such," says Manolo Reboso (no kin to Richard Nixon's good friend Bebe Rebozo). "We were thinking of returning to Cuba immediately." Reboso fought at the Bay of Pigs and later returned to Miami to work as an architect. "The Cuban community," he says, "is now looking for a political voice," and Reboso is proof that it is finding one. Last November he won a seat on the city commission and was promptly named to a one-year term as vice mayor...
...help alleviate that, he has been considering selling his San Clemente property, which he once vowed would be presented to the U.S. public as a gift after his death and that of his wife.

When confronted with a crisis, he became more secretive than ever, withdrawing into seclusion and arriving at a decision with relatively little outside advice. Sternly self-controlled ("I have a fetish about disciplining myself"), he was stiff in public and rarely relaxed in private. As Author Garry Wills maintained in Nixon Agonistes, Nixon erected this "wall...
Looking from the outside, no one can say what any marriage is really like, but even during their private hours the Nixons were often apart. No one could overlook the many weekends he went off to Camp David or to the Bahamian island of Robert Abplanalp with Charles G. ("Bebe") Rebozo, leaving Pat alone. Her own staff bristled at the way he ignored her in public appearances, and there were few of the usual affectionate gestures between husband and wife...
