Dimbleby dismissed much of the ceremonial as "a road show" and "a con." As Air Force One taxied in at London's Heathrow Airport, he observed that "President Nixon is no doubt adjusting his face and deciding whether it's more suitable to smile or look stern as he comes out. He is a man with a face for all seasons; so no doubt it will be the appropriate look." At one point, as the camera cliff-hung on the door of No. 10 Downing Street and the end of a Wilson-Nixon meeting, he sniped: "Of course...
Dimbleby was hardly abashed by the official apology. What BBC management thought was a bad show was cheered last week as bang-on by the London TV critics. Wrote the Daily Mail: "It's very possible that David Dimbleby judged the mood of the nation toward the Nixon visit as accurately as his father judged its mood toward the visits of Eisenhower and Kennedy.

During the Civil War, he went to Spain as to a shrine. He closed his eyes to the horrors of Stalin's purges, shrugged off the Hitler-Stalin pact. Unused to the logic of the world, he failed to draw the conclusions that occurred to less talented...
...went the rave that was never written. But the characters and compliments are real enough. The audience at a Harvard show is pretty unaware of techies--the backstage and front office people who organize, frame and run a production--except as names on the right hand side of a program. But from the inside they seem pretty significant, much more so than in professional theatre...
