“Jim MacVeigh had reached the conclusion that the President of the United States was insane.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“Canada will bring us power for the future, Scandinavia the character, the steadiness…It’s the grand concept for survival…a union of know-how, that’s us, with power and character.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“And now the nice big fat file on MacVeagh and Rita Krasicki probably rested in a cabinet of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Since the bureau seldom threw anything away, the folder would lie there unseen for years, perhaps never to be inspected again. But there it was, nevertheless, a sapless chronicle of suspected passion and adultery. The very existence of such a dossier on a U.S. senator carried an implied threat—to vote right on FBI appropriations and all legislation desired by the bureau. With data like that about himself in the FBI raw files—and the word “raw” carried a caustic connotation in this case—what legislator would take the chance of raising questions about how the bureau spent the taxpayers’ money? Oh, well, he thought, on balance he had to admit the FBI was a fine institution. Not under J. Edgar Hoover, or since, had there been any indication of such tacit blackmail. The bureau drew a steel curtain between its files and its legislative operations. But still they had MacVeagh catalogued now, and for decades, perhaps, his trysts with Rita would lie in some air-conditioned government recess, microfilmed for posterity.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“No man, said O’Malley, could ever act lightly in attempting to remove the President of the United States. The office, if not always the man, commanded a respect and an awe that almost amounted to reverence. And so it should always be, said O’Malley.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“Jim left his McLean house absent-mindedly, forgetting the usual kiss for Martha and neglecting to pull down the garage door, a daily habit as ingrained as brushing his teeth. Driving his convertible over the George Washington Parkway, he turned the windows down.”

“Andrate,” said Trumbull, “nobody—but nobody—in this country can tell a president of the United States that his mind is sick.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“You trust a man to remain as normal as he was the day he got the job.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“His thoughts became weird flashes which changed abruptly like a kaleidoscope. Sweden, maroon on a map, Norway in green. A vice-president with a wife of Swedish stock….My God, he hadn’t caught the significance. Could that be his link with the grand concept?…Mark Hollenbach, his crew cut bristling like a mop of spikes, striding toward Hudson Bay in a black turtleneck sweater. Walking, walking, with earphones strapped to his head and the murmurs of a thousand exotic conversations pouring in from telephone lines across the continent. O’Malley, Spence and the Chicago banker, Davidge, standing mute and stunned in the background….Hollenbach on a dais in Stockholm, wearing robes of royal purple, and studying a military map of Europe with a cluster of generals in strange uniforms….”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“Jim MacVeagh had reached the conclusion that the President of the United States was insane.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“Give up the hope, Jims. In the first place, Mark won’t pick you, believe me. Second, even if he did, you’re not the cut for it. You’re gentle, you’re wonderful in bed, and you’re nice to have around the house—but not the White House. Let’s face it. You play at life, Jims. You don’t work at it.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“it was only a matter of time until the President announced that Vice-President Patrick O’Malley would not be his running mate in the fall campaign for re-election. O’Malley had been muddied beyond scouring in Senator Bryce Robinson’s one-man investigation of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Sports Arena. The Republican senator, tracking as always like a wolf who scorns the pack, had found favoritism in the building contract. It was not fraud. No bribery had been uncovered, no venality, no mysteriously fattened bank accounts.”

“For a Republican to laugh at himself requires a severe psychological upheaval.”
Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
“Behind the President hung the emblem of the club which had satirized every White House occupant since Benjamin Harrison.”

Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David

Fletcher Knebel, Night of Camp David
