Entry: Remembering Kent State: The President as Street Thug Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/kent_state_the_president_as_street_thug#1419 Post contents: Nixon won in '72 because his operatives secured the Democratic nomination for a notoriously weak candidate, though one who looks good in retrospect. And Nixon himself was one of our most intelligent and best informed presidents, who surrounded himself with men of real stature, at least on the cabinet level, though we now know he ignored them. But he had what I can only call flaws deep in his character, and by this time he was a bitter, bitter man. The sad thing is, he would have made a very good president eight years earlier, maybe even a great one. Sent at: 2008 10 13
