Nixon, on the other hand, an (according to the records)
absolutely superior naval officer, had little or no rapport with
the forces. I suspect that it was because he was a "Porkchop",

Poor Nixon had almost no rapport with anybody, even his most devoted
supporters. It took the combined efforts of Lyndon Johnson, Dick
Daley, and Hubert Humphrey to get him elected president.

What would have been the most tragic moment in the American president,
had it not been so comical, was the night during the Watergate hoo-hah
when Nixon walked down to the Lincoln? Memorial and talked to a bunch
of college-age protesters--about football!

all the best -- Dan Ford
