Washingtonpost.com: New Tapes Reveal Depth of Nixon's Anti-Semitism

Beset by the leak of a top-secret history of the Vietnam War and rising unemployment statistics that were hurting his standing in the polls in summer of 1971, President Richard M. Nixon lashed out repeatedly at "the Jews" he saw at the root of his problems.
"The Jews are all over the government," Nixon complained to his chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, in an Oval Office meeting recorded on one of a set of White House tapes released yesterday at the National Archives. Nixon said the Jews needed to be brought under control by putting someone "in charge who is not Jewish" in key agencies.

Richard Nixon's Racist Tapes: Blacks Will Help America in "500 Years," Only If They're "Inbred" - New York News - Runnin' Scared
