...tenuous, so in one sense he doesn't belong here at all. But in another sense he belongs with the men indicted for trying to cover up the plumbers' unit's subversive activities, because as press secretary to the Pentagon, Friedheim tried to cover up the continuing bombing of Cambodia. When American bombers destroyed the Bach Mai hospital in Hanoi in December 1972, Friedheim acknowledged that there might have been minor incidental damage to "the hospital the enemy calls Bach Mai." If conspiring to cover up a burglary by lying to the FBI is grounds for indictment, then...
...jury evidently had more than enough to indict him if he'd been a private citizen, and, if only because it just investigated Watergate, it barely scratched the surface. In fact, the most substantive issue the House Judiciary Committee was looking into, Nixon's illegal and secret bombing of Cambodia (secret in the United States--the Cambodians knew about it), seems to be vanishing from the public eye.

There is no getting around it; the man should be tried as a war criminal in the name of every blind and dead little boy and girl in all of Vietnam and Cambodia. Harvard held Kissinger's chair in the Government Department open for him even as Indochina glowed with burning napalm fire; this University's values had retreated so far into the grey twilight of relativism that the values meant nothing...
...11th centuries left in private hands, such as a 10th-llth century figure of Krishna dancing on the hood of the cobra-demon Kaliya, holding up the creature's tail in a ripple of bronze like a Malay kris, and the majestic, decapitated Female Torso from llth century Cambodia, an image as silent and epigrammatic as any archaic Greek kouros...
