Kissinger: "What do you mean?"

Haig: "His black nuclear bag ... He is going to drop it on the Hill."

Nixon and aide Charles Colson in June 1972 discuss the successes produced by a recent military buildup in the Vietnam War:

Colson: People are beginning to sense that we're doing pretty damn well, that American casualties are down, which they are ... 19 Americans killed last week. They're used to hearing about 25 killed on automobiles in a weekend ...

Nixon: ... We want to decimate that god----ed place ... North Vietnam is going to get reordered ... It's about time. It's what should have been done years ago.

"The writers are predominantly Jewish in all ... They wrote this show for the purpose of making the hard hat look like a boob."
