Nomura Family & Nixon White House

カツノリくん（36）、読売の２軍バッテリーコーチに就任するらしい。自分でこの仕事を見つけたのかな。親父のノムラさんの名誉監督就任は正式発表されていないが、そんな立場を作るなら、本当に就任させてあげてたいのは、初代監督の田尾さんだろう。急造の寄せ集め球団が１年きりで結果を出せるわけがない。ノムラさんより苦労があったとしても不思議じゃない。

Reading “White House Years” makes me wonder why Nixon selected Rogers as his Secretary of State and Agnew as his Vice President in the first place. There was no trust between the President and these two. The turf war is constant between the White House and the State Department, and State and other departments. And Nixon seems rather suspicious of Agnew or any VP under him who may be aspiring to succeed him on his own death in office.
