...truth of Behind Closed Doors is Robards' extraordinary capturing of the persona of Richard Nixon. But aside from that, distortions abound. No evidence exists, for example, that John F. Kennedy ever personally ordered political assassinations abroad, as the show has it. The miniseries has the Washington Post discovering malfeasance long before the Watergate breakin; it did not. The video version of the burglary by White House plumbers of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist becomes a break-in at a St. Louis courthouse; instead of psychiatric records, the squad is after police records.

But eleven, including Cunningham and a physician who has since successfully resumed his medical practice, were resuscitated without long-term injury. "The patients are as damaged as, say, somebody who is hit on the head with...
...Dark Lady have an instant appeal for many readers. His protagonists would fit right into the Palm Court, and they are the ogled, not the oglers. They move in a world of wealth, status and power, and even their tragedies are tinged with high society glamor. And tragedies abound in this occasionally melodramatic, disjoined story, which opens during the Depression, develops which opens during the Depression, develops through World War II, skips over the Armistice years and picks up again early in the McCarthy...
