News correspondent Daniel Schorr tells the story of Richard Nixon's paranoia surrounding the 1972 presidential election, and the moment when Schorr discovered that he himself appeared on Nixon's "enemies list."
“He had a paranoid side to him. And the paranoid side saw enemies. Where Americans would generally talk about rivals, adversaries and so on, he had this word, enemies, which meant something far beyond somebody just running against you for office.”
