...President, one of the ablest in your history, who has talent, guts and a superb conception of international relations, but you will kill him. The whole Watergate business is a bagatelle. Instead of impeaching Nixon, change your Constitution, elect him for seven more years, and send to jail for anti-American activities everybody who is against...
...SIMPLEST EXPLANATION--President Nixon's explanation, to judge by his attacks on those who "downgrade" the United States--is that Vietnam provided a convenient occasion for anti-American feeling.

Scheduled to open in this country at the Kennedy Center in Washington a few weeks ago, the film was pulled by the director of the American Film Institute, George Stevens, for being too "anti-American." This precipitated a protest in which other directors pulled their own films from the Kennedy schedule and moved their openings elsewhere. When it finally opened at the Beekman Theatre in Manhattan, it got rave reviews from both critics and viewers: to get a ticket you have to arrive...
