520 2  "After taking the Oath of Office, Richard Nixon announced 
       that 'government will listen ... Those who have been left 
       out, we will try to bring in' and signed National Security
       Decision Memorandum 2. Using years of research and newly 
       released NSC and administration documents, Ray Locker 
       upends conventional wisdom about the Nixon presidency and 
       shows how the creation of this secret, unprecedented, 
       extra-constitutional government undermined U.S. policy and
       values; and sowed the seeds of his own destruction by 
       creating a climate of secrecy, paranoia, and reprisal that
       still affects Washington today"--|cProvided by publisher.
