From a taped conversation between President Richard Nixon and H.R. Haldeman in 1972..."Reagan is not one that wears well," Nixon said.

"I know," Haldeman agreed.

"On a personal basis, Rockefeller is a pretty nice guy," Nixon said. "Reagan on a personal basis, is terrible. He just isn't pleasant to be around."

"No, he isn't," Haldeman said.

"Maybe he's different with others," Nixon said.

"No," Haldeman said.

"No, he's just an uncomfortable man to be around," Nixon said, "strange."Source (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=513&ncid=716&e=8&u=/ap/20031210/ap_on_go_ot/nixon_tapes)

Nixon calling someone else strange, for starters, is funny stuff.

How would one go about getting copies of the Nixon tapes? I bet it is fascinating stuff.

Parts are fascinating and parts are just offensive (e.g. the bigotry.)
