Any direct quotes from the LBJ / Nixon memoirs? Thanks to the Mitrokhin Archive, we know the Soviets deliberately spread the insinuations about Hoover.

Very interesting! Thanks for that link!

I also appreciated the way Clint Eastwood's 2011 movie J. Edgar provided a plausible "explanation" for the reports of Hoover's private quirks in an otherwise factually informative overview of Hoover's greatly valuable career.
