VIEWED as political commentary, The Nixon Poems have many strong moments. It is significant that the publishers have turned for advertising blurbs not to literary critics, but to John Lindsay, Marya Mannes, and the versatile Norman Mailer. All of them point out that the author is, indeed, a very witty political critic. All of American society comes under attack in this volume, from the President to plastics, from television to crime in the streets.

...Rocky's best week. New York Mayor John Lindsay, nominally a Republican, endorsed Goldberg.

Lindsay's declaration that he acted on principle and his charge that Rockefeller has drifted to the right provoked a sneer from Rockefeller: "Absurd-a complete distortion and misrepresentation of the facts." The Governor's public display of pique gave currency to the view that for the first time, Rockefeller clearly hears Goldberg's footsteps. Last week Rockefeller produced his own poll, showing him with a slender 2% lead...

Lindsay said he could keep silent no longer. So now a prediction is tougher than ever. But on the other hand, this one's as easy to guess as the rest. The Lion...
There may be a good reason why the directors (Robert Chapman and Eleanor Lindsay) of these productions decided to stage them as "dramatic readings," but if there is they are keeping it carefully hidden. The effect achieved by a group of fully costumed actors pacing around Jonathan Miller's simple and beautifully effective sets with loose-leaf notebooks in their hands is absurd. The actors who have taken the trouble to learn their lines are encumbered by the unwieldy scripts, and the others get tongue-tied and lose their place anyway...
