...bumbling, good-natured clown rather than following the original portrait of a man fated to disobey God's commands. David (Suzanne Baxstresser), the young hero of the tale, emerges as a Machiavellian schemer whose love of power makes him patient enough to wait for it. Samuel Steven Weinstein)--in the Bible a wise judge--becomes the string-pulling kingmaker, a self-styled and arrogant Rasputin figure. Lipsky adds the role of Ruth (Phoebe Barnes), a local witch who loves and is loved by Saul, but who loses out to Saul's political ambition and his sense of duty...

The day Nixon left the country, Chambers turned over five rolls of film-two of them containing photographs...

By Nixon's account, he reacted coolly, almost stoically. But Stripling and other HUAC investigators told Weinstein that Nixon actually became almost hysterical, exclaiming: "Oh my God. This is the end of my political career." In abusive language, he blamed the investigators. He threatened to tell reporters that "we were sold a bill of goods."
