"The proper answer to corruption, arrogance, power grabs, and delusions of grandeur on the part of the government is exposure, deflation, and ridicule by the free press."

In my opinion, the First Amendment is the most important key to all the other freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

Anderson lays out dizzying details on Nixon (and his brother's) financial hijinx with ITT leading to judicial favors, convention backing, international, intrigue, and the San Clemente estate. What a mess - mix in Hughes schemes and it is no wonder we still don't known the purpose of the Watergate break-in. Another book convincing me Nixon ran his government like a criminal enterprise in a way only exceeded by J. Edgar Hoover's gestapo FBI. Also interesting here is the details on The Bureau of Indian Affairs building takeover occurred from November 3 to November 9, 1972 and the aftermath of stolen property and incriminating documents. Probably the most earth-shattering for me is how Kissinger-Nixon megalomania nearly made WW III out of the Bangladesh Liberation War (1971), especially considering the potential Russian involvement an Ukraine on the news these days.
