Best One-Line Summation About Richard Nixon
July 15, 2020
Over the decades I have read many books about Richard Nixon. He has more shelf space in the den, with nearly 80 books by a raft of authors, than any other person I love to read about. This week I added Pat Buchanan’s Nixon’s White House Wars.
From that book comes the absolute perfect one-line summation of Nixon. I have never read such a perfectly suited, or concise sentence as that which appears on page 52.
Nixon was like a soldier who had been wounded badly in a war long ago, and, when the weather turned, the pain returned.
Brilliant.
