Only in this way can we make sure that both at home and abroad the strident voices of hatred and discord will not be mistaken for the voice of America. In any event, as you leave Washington you can be proud of the fact that millions of Americans of both parties are deeply appreciative of the fine service you have rendered not only to the people of your district and state but to the nation in the 15 years you served in the House. Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes to you and Mrs. Hays. Sincerely, Richard Nixon

Letter from Vice President Richard Nixon regarding Hays' 1958 defeat and commending him for his fifteen years of service in the House of Representatives ; OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON November 18, 1958 Dear Brooks: When I learned upon arriving in Miami that you also were there, I tried to get in touch with you but, unfortunately, you had checked out of the hotel before we were able to make connections. As a Republican who campaigned in 25 states, it goes without saying that the results on November 4 in many states and districts were disappointing to me. But, writing to you not just as a personal friend but as one who has always admired your statesmanlike leadership in the House of Representatives, I can say without qualification that there was no more tragic result of this last election, from the standpoint of the nation, than your defeat in Arkansas. When statesmanship of the type you represent in such an exemplary way becomes the victim of demagoguery and prejudice, it is time for men of good will in both of our major parties in all sections of the country to exert more positive leadership in developing the public understanding on the issue of civil rights which is essential if America is to continue to be a nation of responsible laws rather than irresponsible men. I use the term in all sections of the country advisedly. Having attended one of the south's great universities, I am aware of the acute difficulties this problem presents and I know of the enlightened leadership which you and other southerners have been and are providing for its solution. And as one who has lived most of my life in the north and west I know this is not just a southern problem. Those in the north must not point the finger of accusation at the south without recognizing their own responsibility to put their own house in order. I know too that our well-publicized failures in this field should and must not be allowed to obscure the record of success and progress which has been made in many areas. But that is why it is all the more important for the responsible leaders of both our major parties to join together in helping to mobilize

A riveting history-the first full account-of the involvement of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger in the 1971 atrocities in Bangladesh that led to war between India and Pakistan, shaped the fate of Asia, and left in their wake a host of major strategic consequences for the world today.Giving an astonishing inside view of how the White House really works in a crisis, The Blood Telegram is an unprecedented chronicle of a pivotal but little-known chapter of the Cold War. Gary J. Bass shows how Nixon and Kissinger supported Pakistan's military dictatorship as it brutally quashed the results of a historic free election. The Pakistani army launched a crackdown on what was then East Pakistan (today an independent Bangladesh), killing hundreds of thousands of people and sending ten million refugees fleeing to India-one of the worst humanitarian crises of the twentieth century.Nixon and Kissinger, unswayed by detailed warnings of genocide from American diplomats witnessing the bloodshed, stood behind Pakistan's military rulers. Driven not just by Cold War realpolitik but by a bitter personal dislike of India and its leader Indira Gandhi, Nixon and Kissinger actively helped the Pakistani government even as it careened toward a devastating war against India. They silenced American officials who dared to speak up, secretly encouraged China to mass troops on the Indian border, and illegally supplied weapons to the Pakistani military-an overlooked scandal that presages Watergate.Drawing on previously unheard White House tapes, recently declassified documents, and extensive interviews with White House staffers and Indian military leaders, The Blood Telegram tells this thrilling, shadowy story in full. Bringing us into the drama of a crisis exploding into war, Bass follows reporters, consuls, and guerrilla warriors on the ground-from the desperate refugee camps

After the Watergate scandal corrupted American democracy, it took a gang of honest politicians to restore honorNot long after burglars were caught raiding the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, Congressman Tip O'Neill noticed that Democratic fundraising efforts for the 1972 election had stalled. Major contributors were under IRS investigation, and Republican lackeys were threatening further trouble if those donors didn't close their checkbooks. O'Neill sensed a conspiracy coming from the Nixon administration, but it wasn't until the scandal broke that he connect
