Who (in the highest of places) did Richard Nixon alienate so as to lose his presidency?
In my opinion it was Nixon’s opposition to GATT, the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade, one of the first “free trade” schemes of Mr. Globaloney… so… who did he upset? A related question is who became Vice President once President Gerald Ford was sworn in? And could that be related to the various unsuccessful assassination attempts on Ford?
So, I guess the next question is, what real file did they have on Spiro Agnew, besides the public one, that led to Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President?
Gees, Dr. Farrell, I was busy in graduate school and that whole thing went right over my head. Thanks Gary for asking the question and Dr. Farrell for (again, as usual) making me go back in my head to see what was really going on then.
Thank goodness there is something redeemable about living this long.
BTW, at one point in my design/build career, I was asked to work for some of the Rockefeller’s. After passing the guard house, driving for 3 miles to get to the first group of community buildings, I started getting images of Ocean Reef and Bebe Rebozo’s house and it all became less than interesting to pursue. Too politically dangerous and way too much “liability”.
