Finally E-Mail that Doesn't Criticize My Weight…

Clinton got a blow-job from an intern and soiled her dress

Nixon prided himself on hiring the youngest White House staff in
history.

But if one hires good young people, the president and his top staff
must
recognize their innocence, not exploit it. A young man in his
twenties,
given a chance to work in one of the most glamorous places in the
world,
will do damn near anything to stay and get ahead. I was certainly
puffed
up in those days, overly ambitious looking too much for the "main
chance."

It's a wonder that family and friends stuck with me through those early
years. But I was also lucky. No one ever asked me to do anything
illegal
or unethical; maybe they thought I wouldn't or that I was too soft.
The
Poisoned chalice just never passed my way. Others, like Chapin and
Krogh,
fine upstanding men, got sucked in because they were asked to do things
that were shady and they complied, thinking that must be the way the
game
is played. And they wound up in prison. There's no doubt that Chapin
would never have engaged in dirty tricks or perjured himself unless he
thought that's what his superiors wanted. Loyalty to the team, that's
what was demanded, not fidelity to the law.

One of Nixon's worst sins was to create a reign of intimidation and a
culture of expectation that his finest young men should march over a
cliff
for him. It was more than Nixon's presidency that was wrecked.

lives were also crushed - David Gergen.
