[…] the London Observer.(9) His review runs to a little under 800 words. The first paragraph is a once-over of Nixon’s career (HUAC, the Checkers speech, debates with Kennedy) and then we get this: ‘In 1977 he was finally sunk when David Frost…. led him into saying on Watergate that ‘when the President does it, […]
