In case you missed it, a few days ago the Nixon Library released a new batch of tapes from December 1972. My favorite Nixon exhortation, issued to Kissinger on 14 December:
“Never forget,” Nixon tells national security adviser Henry Kissinger in a taped Oval Office conversation revealed Tuesday. “The press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy.
“Professors are the enemy,” he repeated. “Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.”
You can listen to the recordings here. Remember, it ain’t paranoia if they really are out to get you.

I just love the idea of Professor of Political Science Henry Kissinger (on leave) agreeing with the statement that professors are the enemy…
