Nixon's empty telos in economy and war policy
The piece critiques the Nixon administration as ideologically aimless and unscrupulous. It argues economic policy lacks purpose, cites ad hoc decisions and forced controls, and questions the Cambodia bombing as a futile act. It contrasts targeted executive surveillance with Nixon’s diffuse, constant bugging and calls it hubris leading to nemesis.
