Elizabeth Ashley is a stunningly beautiful young Maggie, and this justifies all the primping and preening she does. Her Southern accent is not infallible, but she does serve well the lyrical aspects of her speech. She is not at home, however, in the profanity of a phrase like "goddam luck."

But while Buzhardt saw fit to delete every "goddam," "Jesus Christ" and other examples of presidential irreverence, he left intact a good many four, five, ten-and twelve-letter specimens of Anglo-Saxon earthiness. These fell before Nixon's own blue pencil. So too did some ethnic slurs used by Nixon. According to the New York Times, the President...

...through mutual acquaintances among Costa Rican politicians. The result was a series of conversations in Vesco's opulent retreat outside the capital, San Jose. Throughout one talk, a small handgun rested on a table near the casually dressed Vesco. During another, Vesco unburdened his contempt for American democracy ("goddam mob rule") and sympathy for Nixon's fallen men ("Take John Mitchell, that poor s.o.b., or Agnew ...
