From Mr. Nixon's view, one of the worst consequences of
Watergate is that, forcing the Haldeman-Ehrlichman resig-
nations, it exposes his self-imposed crippling — and the
damage that may inflict upon the whole nation through an
aftermath of fumbling.

tinguishes them from such advertised consultative aides as
Melvin Laird and, briefly, John Connally. The Haldeman-
Ehrlichman manner of command, striking fear widely,
made them effective as Haig is not.
Their makeup and their blend of service plus intense
loyalty fit the President to perfection. He, through such
heavy dependency upon them for so many things, was left
free to pursue the foreign affairs functions of his job which
he considers not only his special realm but the key to great-
ness in any president's performance.
Yet the widening judgment here is that Mr. Nixon has
consistently misread both the history and the nature of the
I presidency, that he has given away too much in not being
his own man in broader areas than foreign affairs.
Shrewdly, Haldeman and Ehrlichman made Richard Nix-
on, his welfare and his wishes (as they read them) their sole
“project.”
By that fact, largely conceded in their public utterance,
they became his cripplers. But it takes two to tango. He let
them cripple him. In his very narrow concept of the presi-
dency, he wanted dependency upon them in large reaches of
domestic affairs — obviously not excluding politics. »
Personal caretakers, men who make a president or any-
one else their all-consuming “project," are clearly not easy
to come by. The mix of skills required is rare.
That's why Haig doesn't measure up, and why it's plausi-
ble to believe Haldeman continues — at one remove - to
take a hand. But the inevitable handicaps in the present
