Morrisett' was among the names on the extended version of Nixon's famous 'Enemies List'... ...Some confusion remains to this day over whether the Morrisett in question was the CTW chair or his namesake father, a distinguished professor of education at UCLA. 'My father did not like Nixon at all, so it could have been either one of us, but I think it was probably me,' said Morrisett [Jr.]. 'It's more likely that I would have been considered a political opponent, because of my connections with Carnegie, John Gardner, Lyndon Johnson, and so forth.'
