...official photographer, Ollie Atkins, 53, stays in the background. He usually sees the President only when other photographers do. He has been called on by Nixon for special photographs fewer than two dozen times. Nixon likes his privacy, and Atkins rarely goes along with him to the golf course or other leisure activities.

To make it even more pleasant, the President is getting an estimated $75,000 golf course free. Local firms are building the small course (four greens, seven tees just behind the villa's swimming pool) at their own expense. At the same time, Nixon is adding his own distinctive touches to enhance the comforts of the house. Recent visitors noticed a new bulletproof glass wall beside the swimming pool and a sound...
