If you look back at his columns from those days you'll see that much of his more "nasty needling" was toward Haldeman and Ehrlichman and some of the other surly "characters" around Nixon.

But, I hear what you are saying.

I just liked him because I'd see him on the Vineyard, and he's be walking around Edgartown in the early morning, right after sunrise, and somehow, he already had found something good to munch on. He was a riot in person...... we'd sit there on a bench and talk for quite a long time, year after year. I never let him know that I knew who he was and he never acted like he knew who I was.

Wow, I can't believe he didn't know who you are...must have been acting.

It's hard to dislike someone you know in person who seems like a nice guy, and Buchwald probably was...I just thought his obsession with Nixon, etal, really hurt the low-key amusing stuff he used to do.
