Convicting Richard Nixon

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

After Richard Nixon resigned, he referred to Watergate as a "pipsqueak thing," certain that history would clear him of any wrongdoing. James Reston Jr. was part of a team that helped prepare TV personality David Frost for a 1977 series of interviews with Nixon, three years after his resignation. Reston joins Leonard today to tell us about his work to get Nixon to admit that Watergate was wrong. Reston's new book is The Conviction of Richard Nixon.

The Conviction of Richard Nixon is available for purchase at amazon.com

    Serendipitously, I checked out Mr. Reston's book from the library 3 days ago. Am about to finish it. I highly recommend it...in spite of the appalling memories of those appalling days. Most disturbing is the similarity to the current Administration, its deceitfulness, arrogance, imperialistic approach, etc., etc.

    Thanks to Mr. Reston, readers will see this similarity and, perhaps, be moved to consider impeachment seriously!
