Political Views

Land resigned from being Presidential Advisor at the time of the Nixon-Watergate scandal in 1973. I visited him just after he had been listed as one of Nixon’s ‘200 enemies’. I congratulated him. He replied that he was particularly honoured as it was the only honour he had received without working for.
