...chided Henry Kissinger to forget the sentiments of the columnists and get on with a ceasefire. Not so long ago a White House staff member, who could not understand Nixon's indifference to the good and bad commentary filling the air, asked for an explanation from H.R. ("Bob") Haldeman, the man who understands the President best. In Haldeman's words came some classic Nixoniana: "We do not propose to take pleasure when those people are nice to us, because we do not expect to take pain when they are nasty."

It became a journalistic fashion to look for "light between" the President and his adviser. There was some encouragement for this activity from within the White House, notably from Haldeman, who considers himself an extension of Nixon and deeply resents Kissinger's high profile and the fact that Kissinger is not subordinate to him as is everyone else on the President's staff.
