...Candid Advice. At his press conference, Nixon distorted Symington's speech as an "attack upon the Secretary and a cheap shot." He praised Rogers as his "oldest and closest friend in the Cabinet," said that he "participates in every foreign policy decision that is made by the President," and ticked off all the times that Rogers had talked to Senators and Congressmen...
Freeze the Fear. The Nixon report is candid in other ways. Discussing U.S. attitudes toward South Africa, Nixon asserts that "racism is abhorrent to the American people, to my Administration, and to me personally-we cannot be indifferent to apartheid." But he argues that "resort to force would freeze the prejudice and fear which lie at the heart of the problem" and that rather than trying to isolate white regimes, "a combination of contact and moral pressure" is the best tactic. Throughout the report, Nixon repeatedly admits that his foreign policy options are severely limited by domestic opinion...
...standard battlefield uniform was a camouflage jungle suit, a baseball cap with three stars and a baton that, he joked, was always on hand "to spank the Viet Cong."

Less well known was the fact that the "Patton of Parrot's Beak," as he came to be nicknamed, was also a skillful administrator who had commanded three of South Viet Nam's four military districts and at times was considered...
...principle, the fine print of the budget supports the two large aims that Nixon set for it. A candid Keynesian approach-the planned deficit, unlike this year's unintended one-is there to stimulate the economy, presumably to a degree so judicious that further inflation would be controlled. A budget, however, is only a plan and a set of assumptions. Nixon, to his possible future regret, bases his projections on a steeper upturn in the economy than most independent experts predict (see BUSINESS...
...sure, the "conversation" provided some news and a few insights: renewed emphasis on welfare reform, predictions of an expansionary budget, a candid admission that rerunning the San Jose "hostility" tape on Election Eve was a "mistake" (see THE NATION). But follow-up questions were few, and the four questioners-NBC's John Chancellor, CBS's Eric Sevareid, ABC's Howard K. Smith and Nancy Dickerson of Public Broadcasting-failed, for example, to pin down the President on how he planned to achieve economic expansion without inflation...
