White House Is Not A Home
A Nixon era reflection notes how presidents treat the White House as a workplace rather than a home. It contrasts Nixon’s private retreats at Camp David and Key Biscayne with the public, restricted residence, and cites Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson to show the presidency as confinement amid security. It shifts to condemn North Vietnam’s abduction of South Vietnamese children as a wartime tactic and argues kidnapped youths must be returned if Hanoi seeks UN membership.
