That kind of disgrace does not encourage nostalgia. In an interview last week with Diane Sawyer of CBS, Nixon said, "Remember Lot's wife. Never look back!" He suggested that those who obsessively revisit Watergate may suffer from "Narcissus complexes." Nixon and the others from his crew (most of whom he threw overboard at the last moment, the captain struggling to be the last to go) will never gather at some hotel in, say, San Clemente, to share memories and souvenirs-enemies lists, voice-activated taping systems, smoking guns, the moral compasses that they lost...

Ironically, its illusion of reality is broken only once, when the director chides a Soviet, not an American, weakness. Confronting the corpse of Dr. Robinson in the graveyard, the tramp is unable to remember having killed him and mumbles, "It must have been the vodka...
