# Let Me Say This About That By Dr. Ralph Jensen **URL:** **By** Alan Reynolds **Published:** March 1, 1974 --- “It’s no secret that Richard Nixon has been none too popular lately with ideological purists of either the left or right.” It’s no secret that Richard Nixon has been none too popular lately with ideological purists of either the left or right. Dr. Jensen (it’s a pseudonym) has produced something of a rarity, then, by attacking Nixon in a way that wouldn’t thoroughly please either liberals or conservatives. Jensen jabs Nixon with a left hook for bailing-out Lockheed, axing Walter Hickel, giving special tax breaks and import protection to big business, taking bribes for raising milk price supports, ignoring the pornography and marijuana commissions, blocking tax reform and hunting for witches. From the right, Nixon is hit with effective assaults on wage-price controls, revenue sharing, capricious antitrust and trying to pile FAP on top of the existing welfare mess. This witty little book is unique in getting it all together—all the reasons why a Nixon election victory was anything but a mandate. There are a lot of us, after all, who might have liked to vote “no” for president. _Reviewed by Alan Reynolds / Political Philosophy (129 Pages) / Bfl Price $3_
