Hitt and Nixon

Regarding my post about Hitt being noble, a reader urges Hitt to learn from Richard Nixon:

It's reminiscent of Nixon, who said in the David Frost interviews that his (Nixon's) main problem was being too soft-hearted and not firing people immediately.

"As far as the handling of this matter is concerned, it was so botched up, I made so many bad judgments. The worst ones mistakes of the heart rather than mistakes of the head, as I pointed out, but let me say a man in that top judge job, he's got to have a heart, but his head must always rule his heart."
