The Best Satire is Their Own Words!

In this treasure, Gore Vidal puts Tricky Dick on trial for his political career... but it was written a year before Watergate became known, so it has even more piquant quality to think that the past was just so much prologue to his real crimes. Using his own words, and those of JFK, Ike, Helen Gehagan Douglas ("The Pink Lady"), Vidal proves Richard Nixon's career is one of the main reasons politics has gone to heck in a handbasket.
