Nixon at the D.B.A. Bar

"He just climbed into his pajamas and thought and thought and wrote

and wrote," one of his press secretaries told Richard Rovere. "He doesn't

want ghost-writers. Oh, we help with research, and we give him ideas now

and then, and sometimes we throw in a phrase or a sentence we think might

be helpful. But it all goes through that meat-grinder of a mind he's got,

and believe me, it comes out an entirely different grade of hamburger. He has

his own vocabulary and his own rhythms, and none of us can really

catch him. And he'll never use anything that doesn't sound like him."
