Re-Visiting Nixon
I love 're-visits." Historian Rick Perlstein writes, per Buckley, engrossing histories. He adds a second volume to his quiver: Nixon Land. Go, Ricky!
Those were bad times. Any fairly objective person understood there was way more partisanship than forensics in the Press (we called it then). Cruel, spoiled kids hurting whomever they wanted to hurt. Think there's no karma in that?
The Watergate maelstrom - the unprecedented resignation of an American president and the criminal conviction of his top aides, a wrenching political upheaval unequaled in our nation's history - is popularly remembered as a triumph for the Washington press corps. Book deals were signed, acclaimed movies produced, reputations made, myths cemented.
Yet a dispassionate review of the massive corpus of official Watergate evidence - including, for the first time, the internal memoranda of the Watergate Special Prosecution Force (WSPF) and 5,000 pages of executive session testimony collected by the Senate Watergate committee - reveals Schorr's example was hardly unique, that the news media, for all their prominence in Nixon's downfall, actually got a lot wrong in their coverage of the great scandal.
