...market, used as the lead picture in your "Look, No Straps" story [May 3]. I am particularly upset about the fact that in your story a reference is made to a Calvin Klein Lycra maillot as his "coolest hot-seller."

The result is a massive, careful encyclopedia that sorts out all existing Nixon-era evidence-the tapes, hearings. Justice Department documents, civil-suit depositions, newspaper and magazine accounts-and puts them in order for the final judgment of a dispassionate reader, or of history itself. The Lukas index alone runs to 45 pages. In short, the one book to have if you're having only...
