...What we have to realize is the cold fact that both Sidey and Osborne are totally against us," Nixon dictated to Aides Bob Haldeman and Ron Ziegler on April 14. "They are not honest reporters. Both have spoken in the most vicious derogatory terms of RN in the place where you really find out what the people think -- the Georgetown cocktail parties . . .

Kelly would have disfigured every sea in which she sailed." Even so, the author largely absolves Mountbatten of responsibility for the failure of the bloody 1942 raid on Dieppe, a sacrifice made inevitable by pushing and shoving between Franklin D.
