Atlantic exposes Nixon years backbiting and drinking culture
Seymour Hersh in Atlantic Monthly portrays Nixon as often drunk in the White House with late night cables prompting Kissinger to tell aides not to wake him. The piece portrays Kissinger as duplicitous, fawning, and vicious outside the Oval Office, and recounts aides fearing a nightfall president. The article questions how serious Nixon’s drinking was, noting many former aides downplay its impact while citing a low alcohol tolerance and slurred words after a few highballs.
