            When  the  number  of  deaths  in  Vietnam  became  huge,  our  President  Nixon

        (1968-1974) could find no refuge.




             We made him into our stooge. For everything, past and present, we criticized

        him in a deluge. We said he should have been more like a Scrooge. And we said he
        wasted money and men and covered up with political rouge and subterfuge.
