As a Governor, he was used to command, and the role of Nixon's subaltern did not suit him. Whatever his initial political stereotype, Hickel shattered it last May 6 when, in the aftermath of the Kent State shootings and the Cambodian expedition, he wrote to Nixon-having failed to gain a private hearing-to criticize the President for alienating himself from the young...
