My...It was just the way Cox thought about people. <br /><br />My first meeting with him after his father-in-law died occurred in Washington in the spring of 1994, in the office of some Nixon attorneys of your acquaintance. We were going around the room saying what we thought about the Kutler and compensation cases. <br /><br />After I'd spoken, Cox said icily that it was always interesting to hear the staff perspective. He was having trouble with the fact that by virtue of Nixon making me an executor of his estate, I was now a litigant in federal cases, and these big-time attorneys worked for me. <br /><br />You know about those "wish I'd said!" fantasies. I should've replied, "And it's always interesting to know what the residuary beneficiaries think they're entitled to." <br /><br />We got plenty of information on that subject, all too soon.Fr.

Yeah, they get into Peter Drucker.) Oh, and I guess I better not quote Fred's nickname while he served in 'Nam [grin]. Will let you know offline, hah. Seriously, non-disparagement agreements? SO glad I worked at NARA where my parents values, formulated during hard times under Soviet occupation, could inform my values. Totally different world, totally different way of doing business. So glad my 'rents came to the US as refugees and that Dad and I both went civil service, he at Voice of America, me at NARA. USA!! USA!!MKhttp://nixonara.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
