Sir David Frost on Richard Nixon
British television host Sir David Frost landed the biggest interview of the 1970s when former president Richard Nixon agreed to sit down for four wide-ranging interviews. The story of what happened behind the scenes was brought to the Broadway stage last year, and now the man who asked the questions is telling it in his own words in Frost/Nixon.

I think Nixon's apology came from the fact he was raised a Quaker. Richard Nixon's mother, a devout Quaker, would have been very sad to know he lied. Quakers also believe there is a body of Light which runs over a body of darkness in the world, or the good and evil, which some believe are within each persona also.
Please dont drag religion into what is already a tissue of lies and deceit.
Nixons only saving grace is that he never tried to claim he was acting under the advice or approval of some fictitious bogy man called god.
Neither was he an atheist in the true sense of not believing in any deity. Nixon was the great pragmatist of modern politics who was very unlucky not to have sufficient control of the existing media.
Kissinger was the real monster in the administration; in pursuit of his germanic ideals of world conquest and global dominance it was Kissinger who brought the world close to nuclear devastation. Nixon was merely a huckster politician who got caught.
History will be kinder to him than to Bush or to Reagan.
