(Bob) Haldeman, Domestic Affairs Aide John Ehrlichman and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger. Because of their ancestry?and their closemouthed habits?the Teutonic trio is now known as "the Berlin Wall" in the White House pressroom. One Administration official calls them "all the king's Krauts"; another speaks of "the throne nursers." Kissinger refers to the other two as "the Praetorian Guard," and Haldeman and Ehrlichman are widely called "Von Haldeman" and "Von Ehrlichman...
