who were the 'four' bodies...


..nixon was referring to when talking to haldeman (james woods) in the office?

something like, "exploiting four bodies for him to achieve the presidency"

i get jfk, i get bobby kennedy...who else? (creepy)

haldeman hinted later that his and ehrlichman's firing/resignations made SIX bodies.....so, what does it all mean?

Nixon referred to HIS BROTHER who died so he could go to COLLEGE..

reply

Duke is right. I believe he is referring to his two brothers who died. In one flashback, he is talking with a very sick Harold who says that he would be able to go to law school after Harold's death.

King's assassination was irrelevant to his election.

reply

Sixth would be Malcom X?

reply

That had nothing to do with Nixon either. Internal conflict within the Nation of Islam lead to Malcolm's assassination. He clearly states in his autobiography that he knew who his killers would be and that they were coming for him.

Oh sorry.

Guess there really are people who act worse than 12 year olds.

You're right about John and Robert Kennedy. They were bodies three and four.
Bodies one and two were his brothers Harold and Arthur.
