...much support for the President below the surface of conservatism. There is a lot of grumbling and downright hostility. For the average conservative, it has been a question of digesting so much stuff: Agnew, the 18-minute gap in the tape, the President's taxes, the missing deed for his papers. It is a litany of events that seems not to cease, and no demagoguery of trying to blame it on the press and on the left is going to work.

...back taxes for having taken a deduction of $482,000 for the gift of his vice-presidential papers-a transaction that he has conceded may not have been completed before a law banning such deductions went into effect. While Nixon will not be accused of fraud because a deed and other papers completing the transaction apparently were backdated to get them within the deadline, the committee may put blame on those who prepared the returns.

...head of a textile business in Holland, though he does not say so in the book. There is, in fact, not a word about his life from 1959 to the present in The Empty Mirror. It would have been interesting to learn whether he did in deed stay awake, but the silence seems right. A book about Zen should end with a question...
...Assistant Treasury Secretary and admitted that it was related to the investigation of Nixon's income tax deduction for donating his official papers to the Government. Morgan, who has testified in Congressman Mills' investigation of Nixon's taxes, had handled much of the transaction and had signed the deed transferring the papers for the President, possibly without authority. Investigators are not sure that the transaction was legally completed before a new law banned such deductions...
