RealAudio: Nixon's hideaway

The President had a hideaway office in the Executive Office Building, next door to the White House, and I was taken there to photograph him as he prepared for a  television address.  He scarcely moved the entire time I was there.  I kept hoping he might answer the telephone or walk around the room, so I could get some variety, but it didn't happen. 

Later, in the Press Room, I overheard some White House correspondents commenting on how formal the President always was.  One said: "I bet he takes a shower in that suit!"  Another added: "If a photographer ever shot him with his feet up, it  would be worth a million dollars."  I smiled and kept my little secret to myself, but doubted that I'd ever see the million dollars!
