Robert Gates on Nixon:

[Nostradammit]

The President paid little attention to the President's Daily Brief, CIA's morning intelligence publication designed and intended for the President alone. Nixon saw the Agency as politically liberal, and made no secret of his view that too many of its officials - including Helms - were closely tied into the "Georgetown social set."

In an earlier tidbit he offers this:

There is no doubt in my mind that some of my older colleagues and supervisors, presumably influenced in some measure by their college-age children, experimented with marijuana and perhaps even other drugs. Antiwar and anti-Nixon posters and bumper stickers festooned CIA office walls.

Wonder if there's a lot of anti-Bush paraphernalia hanging on the wall in Langley these days....
