[Bernard Marx]

About the only things which make sense are he was indeed anti-communist and was effective against them in his early days. Maybe it was just their chance to get even.

I agree. Considering the terrible legislation he signed (EPA,OSHA, and paving the way for federal affirmative action programs,etc.) he should be a hero of modern liberalism. But it was indeed his early anti-Communist work (specifically nailing Alger Hiss, still the icon of American Communists) that forever made Nixon a must-destroy liberal target.

August 15, 1971: President Nixon imposed wage and price controls. A 90 day freeze.
