Rather they jeer at his inability to answer questions about the scandal fully and are giving him the roughest treatment any presidential press secretary in memory has absorbed...
Facing that ordeal, some joke and some jeer, some cringe and some cry, some drink and some pray. No man is born brave, but it is a brave sight to see a man acquire courage, and Journey's End shows us that too.

When Harold jeered that button, he jeered not Nixon and Agnew but the nation and the concept of America. The waiter literally risked his life to show Harold that button, and all he did was jeer at it and at him. Harold Hothan sickens...
