Some1 mentioned his name the other day in a thread here...and reminded me of him.
This guy, AH, had no "off" year, not a single one in all his life. You know how a lot of leaders have their down years or decades, and their up years or decades? well, this guy was connected full on from day 1 ALL THE TIME...and wtf was he? where did he come from?
Each person can add any tidbit about him that sounds interesting, here are mine:
1. Deputy Chief of Staff for General Douglas MacArthur (yes, THAT Gen MacArthur)
2. Helped Pres. Richard Nixon select the 17 journalist whose phones would be tapped.
3. Served in Vietnam and got the Distinguished Cross of Service.
4. Kissinger considered him "indispensable" as Deputy Assistent to National Security Affairs.
5. Was key in orchestrating the overthrow of Chile's Allende.
6. Many think he was Woodward's "Deep Throat"
7. Secretary of State for President Ronald Reagan.
8. When Reagan was shot, he claimed to the press "I am in control here, at the White House".
9. He was NATO COMMANDER and survived an assasination attempt during that time.
10. He died at 85 y.o. the "other day". He was involved in one way or anothe in EVERY major AMERICAN event in the second part of the 20th century....even Bay of Pigs...(not only Republicans), yes...he was asked to help "assimilate veterans from that incursion".
