White House fear of demos
"How do you make the power elite frightened of you?
"Nixon was frightened of movements. And there’s a scene - 1971, huge antiwar demonstration surrounding the White House...
"& Nixon has put empty buses, end-to-end as a kind of barricade...
"& he’s standing at the window wringing his hands, going, Henry, they’re going to break through the barricades and get us.
"& that’s just where you want people in power to be.”
