  • Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 By Jonathan Marshall “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.

Memories of the Ellsberg Break-In transcribedremarks of THE HONORABLE STEPHEN TROTr* Introduction by Fred Altshuler, Esq.: As a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County, Stephen Trott prosecuted presidential assistant John Ehrlichman and G. Gordon Liddy for the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. I would now like to ask Judge Trott to give some of his views of the type of White House conduct that occurred during the Watergate era. Judge Troll: I had a fascinating window into this whole business. I was a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County in charge of the organized crime division. I spent my time on cases involving CIA- trained Cuban bombers, militants shooting up UCLA, drugs, a rattlesnake being placed in the mailbox of a lawyer who was suing an operation called Synanon, and various pornography cases involving X-rated films like "Deep Throat" and "The Devil and Miss Jones." One odd day, my boss, Los Angeles County District Attorney Joe Busch, called me in and said: "Get your butt over to federal court, someone named Howard Hunt is about to blow the whistle on a burglary in Beverly Hills." Now, what was going on? In June of 1972, the Watergate break-in took the lid off this whole thing.
