In the recent Atlantic more transcripts of Nixon's tapes are presented. RN = You know who. HK = Henry Kissinger.

The Ivy League (April 18, 1972)
HK: I had the Ivy League presidents in yesterday. They asked to see me.
RN: Holy Sh*t. Sons of bitches - I wouldn't have seen them. They don't deserve it. I'll tell you this, they are never - I'm surprised that we really have - who did this? Haldeman told you to have them in?
HK: They called him for a meeting with you.
RN: The Ivy League presidents? Oh, I won't let those sons of bitches ever in the White House again. Never. Never. None of them. They're finished. The Ivy League schools are Finished. My God-
HK: I spent an hour with them, and it was revolting, because they have now embraced the program of the radicals. They said, in effect, they want us of cut off economic and military aid--
RN: And what happens?
HK: They said, have a Communist government in power in Saigon. I said, have you considered that? I'm amazed that leaders of educational institutions should take such a position on a moral issue. The President of Harvard said, 'Look, there are a lot of immoral things happening in the world which we don't resist.'
RN: So, Henry, look, I would not have had them in. So don't ever do that again. Don't ever have them in again. They came out against us when it was tough. Don't ever have them in again. And when they [unintelligible]. Don't ever go to an Ivy League school again. Ever. Never, never, never.
Bombing Haiphong. [a North Vietnamese harbor that was currently under blockade](May 5, 1972)
RN:………But I want that place, whenever the planes are available, bombed to smithereens during the blockade. If we draw the sword on ‘em, we’er gonna bomb those bastards all over the place.
HK: No question.
RN: And let if fly, let it fly.
HK: The only point I disagree – we can do all of this without killing too many civilians. I just know we can.
RN: I don’t want to kill civilians, you know that. I don’t try to kill any. But, goddamn it, don’t be so careful that you don’t knock out the oil tanks.
HK: God, no.
RN: See me point?
