People of my generation remember that well -- though this only became known later. Nixon was anti-social, but he had a certain code of honor. Looking back, as much as I despised him, he did a couple of good things.

The felon is a sociopath, with less stability all too frequently ..... more often than the drunk Dick.

He tried to get operatives to break into the apartment of Arthur Bremer, who had just shot George Wallace, and plant Democratic literature.

However, Nixon seemed to respect social etiquette and observe manners when in public.

When sober, Nixon considered crimes as options, and it might be noted he was okay with expanding military operations into Cambodia and Laos. But he had a secret plan to end the Vietnam, that he kept to secret that it has never been identified.

The few times that he was rude and obnoxious in public had to have been someone else's fault. Than darned Dan Rather!

In one of his books, Rather discribes a break-in to his home during the plumbers' era of activities.
