To 1972. He didnt like a lot of people. Really, nixon hated the harvard and the yale crowd. Im always amazed to see how Hard Scrabble he had it, how he tried to compensate by talking barnyard language or making racial slurs because he thought that would shock people. Certainly kennedy told all sorts of offcolored jokes, but theyre not on tape. Some president s like Ronald Reagan didnt go there. The african summits and the nixon tapes when we continue.

Comments weve recently received from our viewers. I just finished watching q a, jenny beth martin. I suppose the most offensive thing about that whole, whole hour was the fact that she was the daughter of a methodist minister, and you just gotta wonder what in the heck is the Methodist Church in the south like, you know . And how did i wonder what her parents positions are. And how did she, you know, i heard the whole hour, how she got to where she is. I just want to at first start off by allowing cspan to know that i do not watch any other channel on my cable selection besides this, and cspan 1, 2 and 3, so i really want to show my appreciation for this, for your services there and your ability to really keep it mixed up and really lively and around international viewpoints.

Good generation. He entered the Foreign Service immediately on graduation from yale. His education was essentially in the humanities, not International Relations theory. He felt the most viable course he took in college was in economic geography, which is not hot anymore come either in colleges or high schools.

But the experience that he had their used to be typical of the experience that Foreign Service officers had. He was assigned to interview these applicants. He learned that th
Lincoln. The story in the Herald Tribune said that Woodrow Wilson went to the House Judiciary Committee for an of thel discussion treaty of her side. But that is it. Treaty of versailles. But that is it. Did the House Judiciary Committee ask him to testify . He exit proposed to do so. He actually propose to do so. All sorts of questions were raised. Not just from the usual political adversaries regarding ,ossible motives behind this and in the ensuing uproar, he decided that it would make perfect sense for him to break and in facton become the first president since lincoln to testify before a judiciary committee. Emember, this is after 25 years on capitol hill. There, andortable up the committee probably treated him less harshly than somebody they had not known and not worked with for 25 years. You say, he had spent 25 years on a hill stronge were lots of , and that was the committee that even i was rake nelsono rockefeller over the coals, they had asked some tough questions during the
