Nixon Brooding Over Plight Spends Exile in Silence
Washington Merry-Go-Round reports Richard Nixon, in exile, broods over his presidency's end. Close friends note reduced resilience to new problems, dangerous blood pressure spikes, and a failed custody bid for presidential papers. He mixes long calls with few companions, while allies seek social gatherings like Walter Annenberg’s Palm Springs party, which Nixon narrows to a small, personally cleared group. Rabbi Baruch Korff frames him as deeply troubled, yet offers spiritual reassurance amid guidance that sunrise follows sunset.
