7. Assassination:  "It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination." (Statement at a National Security Council meeting , 1975)

8. Chile: "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves." (link)

9. Illegality-Unconstitutionality"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." (from March 10, 1975 Meeting With Turkish Foreign Minister Melih Esenbel in Ankara, Turkey)

10. Himself: "Americans like the cowboy " who rides all alone into the town, the village, with his horse and nothing else " This amazing, romantic character suits me precisely because to be alone has always been part of my style or, if you like, my technique." (November 1972 Interview with Oriana Fallaci)
