Hat tip to Arts & Letters Daily, Slate's Bonnie Goldstein publishes an 11 page Richard Nixon memorandum (pdf) to H.R. Haldeman (remember him?) addressing the need to get the public to know and appreciate the kinder, gentler Nixon. You know, the guy who made telephone calls "to people when they are sick, even though they no longer mean anything to anybody," and the guy who treated subordinates "like dignified human beings, and not like dirt under my feet." Ah, the common touch!
Dick Cheney was a White House intern back in those days (no, not that sort of intern) and a staff member working for Donald Rumsfeld. Maybe that's where Cheney learned to project the warm, cuddly image we all know and love him for today.
