  • 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.

    THE SEARCH FOR THE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" THE CIA AND MIND CONTROL John Marks Allen Lane Allen Lane Penguin Books Ltd 17 Grosvenor Gardens London SW1 OBD First published in the U.S.A. by Times Books, a division of Quadrangle/The New York Times Book Co., Inc., and simultaneously in Canada by Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd, 1979 First published in Great Britain by Allen Lane 1979 Copyright <£> John Marks, 1979 All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner ISBN 07139 12790 jj Printed in Great Britain by f Thomson Litho Ltd, East Kilbride, Scotland J For Barbara and Daniel AUTHOR'S NOTE This book has grown out of the 16,000 pages of documents that the CIA released to me under the Freedom of Information Act. Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Saturday Night Massacre by the Honorable Laurence H
    On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Saturday Night Massacre by The Honorable Laurence H. Silberman* You have asked me to speak on my personal recollections of the latter Watergate period. It is risky, inviting aging judges to recount "war stories." Some of the matters I will describe have been reported on--at least in part. But I dare say I will give you some fresh information and certainly some added context. You should be warned, however, I have concluded, after reading innumerable memoirs, that the author invariably portrays him or herself in an overly favorable light. It is 25 years ago this month that the so-called Saturday Night Massacre occurred. Elliot Richardson, the Attorney General, was obliged to resign; Bill Ruckelshaus, the Deputy Attorney General, was fired; and the then third-ranking Solicitor General, Bob Bork, as Acting Attorney General, discharged Archibald Cox, the Watergate Special Prosecutor. The events that weekend in terms of dramatic impact rank with the fall of the Soviet Empire and the start of the Gulf War. Still, we all tend to think of such events in personal terms. When I was asked for my reaction at a dinner that Saturday night, I responded that we knew that President Richard Nixon disliked and distrusted Harvard graduates, but this seemed a bit extreme. In a few months, however, I would replace Bill Ruckelshaus, who was a class ahead of * Of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
