...Haldeman's book is full of odd little passages like that; dramatic hyperbole, overstatement and stereotype in place of thoughtful description. Some of these excesses are funny. Others are full of poison, and they cause me to wonder about the relationship between Bob Haldeman and the writer, Joseph DiMona. Haldeman has seen my tennis serve, and he knows my character and personality; DiMona does not. Perhaps the wrong fellow picked the verbs...

Its purpose: to disguise a secret Israeli purchase of much-needed uranium for its French-built nuclear reactor at Dimona in the Negev Desert; an overt purchase might have pushed the Soviet Union into supplying nuclear arms to the Arab states. The Scheersberg A, which is still in service as a tramp steamer under the name Kerkyra, was secretly owned at the time of the uranium caper by the Israeli...
