Let us think of some of the men who have fallen from hight place. For example,
Nixon. I always wondered why it was that Eisenhower never actively supported
him. Eisenhower had to have great talent for judging men - ;you don't get
four stars without that. But what did he see in Nixon that repelled him?
What was the "hamartia" that made Nixon break the law to try to suppress
Ellsberg, whom he really did not need to fear?
