But by far the most interesting person was undoubtedly [Henry] Kissinger. He is showing signs of strain from the Watergate scandal. He drank very little but talked somewhat indiscreetly in front of our French guests who are bound to repeat much of what he said... ...Henry talked at the table in front of everyone about Watergate. He said the people now being exposed (like Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Dean, etc.) were small-town, middle-class politicians who were used to fixing municipal elections and thought they could do the same thing in the White House. He failed to mention that Nixon had, after all, brought them in and let them run wild. He also said it was all right to lie for "a great cause" but not for a small one.

Longtime New York Times foreign correspondent C.L. Sulzberger, on a dinner party he hosted in Paris during the Watergate scandal where Nixon Administration's National Security Advisor, top diplomat, and soon-to-be Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was a guest, June 7, 1973.

As recounted in Sulzberger's 1974 book, Postscript With a Chinese Accent: Memoirs and Diaries, 1972-1973, the fourth volume of Sulzberger's fascinating collection of journal entries, autobiographical vignettes, and reporting notes from his remarkable career and close personal and professional interactions with virtually every significant international figure of the 20th Century following World War II.

Always some big American leader vomiting shit for the rest of the nation to feast on. Anyone who elects that kind of people doesn't deserve trust.

Sempre um grande líder americano vomitando merda para o resto da nação se banquetear. Quem elege esse tipo de gente não merece confiança.

In honor of the presidential inauguration today, I figured I’d share a pic of J.T. Walsh when he played in Oliver Stone’s film, Nixon, as John Ehrlichman, one of Nixon’s aides who served on the White House counsel and assistant to Nixon for Domestic Affairs.
