...fast' 15: 'Now who's going to talk to him, Colson?' 16: 'We have no choice.'"--and Nixon twisting that jowly face of his, looking more and more like what we always though he was best-suited for in life--an insurance agent, or maybe a successful ad account executive for someone like J. Walter Thompson as so many of his assistants were, pushing Colgate and Pringles and J-Wax Kit. That was perhaps the one thing Nixon understood, at least after 1962--that what counted was to sell yourself, to make yourself appear sincere so that it didn...

The only sustained political argument in the book is given to a drug-addicted anarchist who argues, tautologically, that people would be better if people were better...
Senior faculty members in European history this week disagreed sharply with Handlin. "Some members of the department--certainly at least a half-dozen--expressed surprise and indignation at what emerged at that faculty meeting," one senior Europeanist said.
