The diaries of H. R. Haldeman, President Richard M. Nixon's chief of staff until the Watergate scandal prompted Mr. Nixon to dismiss him, include references to Mr. Nixon's believing that there was "total Jewish domination of the media" and that "the whole problem is really the blacks."

"The Haldeman Diaries," being published today by G. P. Putnam's Sons, are drawn from audio recordings and Mr. Haldeman's daily diary entries.

In one entry, Mr. Haldeman, referring to the President as "P," said: "P emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to. Pointed out that there has never in history been an adequate black nation, and they are the only race of which this is true. Says Africa is hopeless. The worst there is Liberia, which we built."

In another segment Mr. Haldeman states: "There was considerable discussion of the terrible problem arising from the total Jewish domination of the media and agreement that this is something that would have to be dealt with."

Mr. Haldeman's entry for Feb. 26, 1970, stated that Mr. Nixon "really raged again against United States Jews" and that the President had ordered his chief of staff "not to let any Jews see him about the Middle East." Mr. Haldeman noted that the outburst was in the presence of the national security adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, who is Jewish. Plot to Impugn Kennedy

In an entry on June 23, 1971, Mr. Haldeman dictated a passage about how to use reports of sexual escapades against Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat whom Mr. Nixon considered a likely rival for the Presidency in 1972. "We need to take advantage of this opportunity and get him in a compromising situation if we can," Mr. Haldeman said.

Mr. Nixon died last month. Mr. Haldeman died last year.

Mr. Haldeman's recollections also indicate that Mr. Nixon had wanted his predecessor, Lyndon B. Johnson, to persuade Democratic senators to halt their Watergate inquiry and had threatened to reveal that Mr. Johnson bugged the Nixon campaign plane in 1968.

Mr. Haldeman recorded that on June 25, 1972, eight days after the Watergate break-in set in motion the events that eventually led Mr. Nixon to resign, the President was concerned about "the Martha Mitchell problem."

Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of Attorney General John N. Mitchell, Mr. Nixon's campaign manager and mentor, had a habit of calling reporters, especially Helen Thomas, the White House correspondent of United Press International. Martha Mitchell's Telephones

In one entry Mr. Haldeman said Mrs. Mitchell had told Ms. Thomas that if Mr. Mitchell did not get out of politics "she was going to kick him out of the house, but her phones were then pulled out either by her or someone in her room."

After noting that Mrs. Mitchell was demanding that her telephone be reinstalled, Mr. Haldeman said, "She's now threatening that if they don't get her phones in she's going to blow the whole Republican deal, whatever that means."

The next day Mr. Haldeman recorded that it was Mr. Nixon's opinion that "John's got to close her down somehow or lock her up, but he can't just leave her speaking out like this; it's going to create a major national problem."

Later, Mr. Haldeman learned that it had been an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who had pulled out the phone. "She had a monumental tantrum, started throwing things at him, demolishing the room," Mr. Haldeman said. "They locked her in. She busted the window with her hand, cut herself badly. They had to get a doctor, who had to throw her on the bed and give her a shot in order to subdue her."

Mr. Mitchell resigned as head of the re-election campaign on July 1, saying that he had "to meet the happiness" of his wife and daughter.

Mrs. Mitchell died in 1976, and Mr. Mitchell in 1988.

Asked for comment on the racial statements the Haldeman diaries attributed to Mr. Nixon, the director of the Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Calif., John H. Taylor, said, "Politics and anti-Semitism are two different things." Mr. Nixon's statements about blacks and Jews "should be viewed strictly in a political context," he said.

"I had the privilege of serving him for 15 years and never heard him make an anti-Semitic statement," Mr. Taylor said.

I like this big time; only part I disagree with is "kids shouldn't use marijuana" (kids need medicines too, and many prescriptions have terrible side effects- including cancers)

This thread is great, thanks Cosmic Spore for your hard work!

Excellent work, Cosmic, thank you!

I have been interested in tissue cultures, but finding a media recipe that works is very difficult. After a lot of searching I was able to dig this out of the depths of the internet.
