Nixon may have had for more scandle if he had been subjected to a similar degree of prying into personal affairs as the current president. Book says Nixon beat wife and took drugs WASHINGTON — A new biography asserts that Richard Nixon over many years took a mood-altering drug without a prescription and that he beat his wife at times of personal crisis. ''The Arrogance of Power'' by Anthony Summers will be published Monday. The author named his sources for most of the book's assertions, but also got second-hand. Some of the book's claims have also been made in the past but in less detail. It does report that in 1968 Nixon was given 1,000 capsules of the drug Dilantin, an anti-convulsant used to counter epileptic seizures, by Jack Dreyfus, founder of an investment firm and an enthusiastic promoter of the drug. Summers also wrote that the relationship of Nixon and his wife was one of ''prolonged marital difficulty, of physical abuse, of threatened divorce.'' An aide commenting on behalf of Julie Nixon Eisenhower calls the charges "utterly inconceivable."
