there is no doubt a view thatated the white house was not unique to the nixon white house but highly loped in the nixon white house of ontimization, particularly vietnam. richard nixon felt he had inherited an unpopular war and lots of folks who had reluctantly supported the law as lot with the war as long as there was a democrat in the white house changed their positions as long as there was a republican in the white house. that said, it is never an attractive stance for the so- called most powerful man in the world to see himself as a victim of more powerful forces, including a talk-show host. host: vietnam was the topic of inference -- conversation june of 1974. less than a week after the watergate break-in. here's more from that conversation with president nixon in 1972.

nixon white house aide alexander butterfield had made up his mind previous to that if he was asked a specific question, he was going to answer it honestly. then he was asked, and he answered, and it changed everything. >> mr. butterfield, are you aware of the installation of any listening devices in the oval office of the president? >> i was aware of listening devices, yes, sir. >> took him a moment, but it was an honest answer. his admission changed the course of the watergate scandal and accelerated nixon's departure. butterfield was uninvolved and went on to run the faa and stayed on during the ford presidency. butterfield, now 87 years of age, was a decorated air force pilot prior to serving in the white house. >>> we now know what happens when two presidents get together. they give each other socks, apparently. statement socks, including the where's waldo variety have become something of a form of fashion expression for 41 these days, former president george h.w. bush. when president obama hosted his oldest living predecessor yesterday he was given a pair of similar loudness. an
