...crime that merits such severe punishment-considering the good deeds President Nixon has accomplished." People who agree with Withers-and even many who take a less charitable view-believe that Nixon has suffered enough. But many others are not prepared to forgive or forget. According to a California Poll survey released last week, 54% of the people of Nixon's home state believe that it would be wrong to grant the former President immunity from prosecution (31% disagree...
...Louis Harris survey released this week showed a dramatic shift in favor of impeachment and conviction, undoubtedly because of the impact of the televised Judiciary Committee proceedings.

...survey of issues and interpretations fielded in The New Republic, Partisan Review, Studies on the Left, and The New York Review of Books offers a complete and poignant record of intellectual opinion through the 60s. For that alone the book is worthwhile. And, while one can criticize Vogelgesang for not offering more insight into the very questions she raises, her effort to do so probably would have failed where her portrayal of the "long dark night" does not: The perspective and insight necessary to realistically assess the long term effect of the Intellectual Left's view of morality...
