While clearly petty compared with the political-corruption charges, such gifts do raise serious ethical questions. President Eisenhower's top aide, Sherman Adams, resigned in 1958 after it became known he had accepted gifts including a vicuna coat from Industrialist Bernard Goldfine. Abe Fortas resigned in 1969 from the Supreme Court when it was revealed that he had accepted $20,000 from a foundation headed by Financier Louis Wolfson, for which he was an adviser...

A Rockefeller supporter in 1968, Richardson nonetheless was invited to Washington as an Under Secretary of State, and his cool, analytical grasp of complex situations attracted the attention of Nixon.
