Maybe the names shouldn't be italicized, only the descriptions. --RobbieFal 02:39, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Getting close
Through judicious use of the 'requested articles' on the recent changes page, I've made sure that all but 5 of the people on the list have articles :) →Raul654 12:54, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

- No, he ordered the Department of Justice to harass them with trumped up criminal charges, the IRS to give them severe audits, 'etc. Nixon *did* give orders to firebomb the Brookings Institute though. And remember - that's just what we know about. He resigned rather than turn over his tapes (most of which have never been released), and you can bet that's a goldmine of evidence of other crimes he got away with. Raul654 21:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, we know pretty solidly about some even nastier stuff, like the government spreading a rumor when Nixon "enemy" Jean Seberg was pregnant in 1970 that the father was not her husband, Romain Gary but one of the Black Panthers she was working with. - Jmabel | Talk 05:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Leonard Woodcock
From the article: Leonard Woodcock, United Auto Workers, Detroit, Michigan: No comments necessary.
Well I hardly the phraze 'no comments necessary' is encloypedic. Prehaps American readers know why no comments are necessary, but I have no idea. Is it because he is a trade-unionist? Was he particulary militant or extreme? Is there an incident that I am not aware of? Could someone please fix this, I was going to add a 'world-wide view' tag but it is unnecessary just for one line, but could editors of this article please consider international readers. Thank-you.

- That is the verbatim text of Colson's memo. The editorializing was part of the original memo. Jokestress 03:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Complete enemies list?
There's a reference to the uber-complete enemies list, with over 30,000 names. Is that list available online anywhere? While it would certainly be too long to include in an article, a link would be very useful. A quick Googling on my part turned up nothing, but I have to think someone's put it online somewhere.

- The master list of Nixon political opponents was published in the New York Times, but I'm not aware of a published source for the 30,000+ name list. We have only heard people involved make mention of it. Jokestress 17:58, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

- Alas. I'm working on a research project about a strange older fellow who, like many others, takes pride in proclaiming he was on Nixon's enemies list. I doubt he's correct, but I figure that 30,000-person list could include a whole lot of people. Thanks. Jbenton 18:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] References
Sources at bottom give not one but two sources of publication for the verbatim list. Please explain what else is unreferenced here. Jokestress 04:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
