This essential Nixon is even weirder than we might remember. He was always on the run, moving restlessly from the Oval Office to his hideaway in the nearby Executive Office Building, to Camp David, then off to Key Biscayne, then suddenly to San Clemente. He was running to avoid the very thing most politicians crave: contact with other human beings. In each place, he wrote endlessly on yellow legal pads, issuing orders (many of which were wisely ignored by his staff), commenting in the margins of memorandums, annotating news summaries, denouncing his opponents and often his friends, urging ever more...

Truman said he felt as if the sun, the moon and all the planets had fallen on him. Kay Graham did not exactly enjoy the moment, either...
That vague warning came two years before the explosions in Kenya and Tanzania. But from that moment, investigators began painstakingly corroborating the tale told them by CS1, which was based on his years as a founding member of al Qaeda. He told of traveling to a secret hideaway in Afghanistan where he swore his bayat, or complete allegiance, as the third member in the group bin Laden was setting up around 1990 to transform the Afghan rebellion into an anti-American jihad...
