Letter writer Kay Bloss (“Secret plans don’t work very well,” Sept. 12) has evidently not read George Will or she would have mentioned another fact related to Nixon’s secret plan. I would direct her attention to http://tinyurl.com/kwqgmh5, from which I quote: “Nixon’s newly revealed records show for certain that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he ordered Anna Chennault, his liaison to the South Vietnam government, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson.
“Nixon’s interference with these negotiations violated President John Adams’ 1797 Logan Act, banning private citizens from intruding into official government negotiations with a foreign nation.”
His secret plan was to win the election, which likely cost American lives and violated the public trust. It is an apt comparison to Donald Trump.
