PBS Frost/ Nixon interview
The public court of opinion is what matters, not the judicial system. I realize that more than ever having just finished watching the original Frost/ Nixon interview. It's forever humanized and changed my perception of Richard M. Nixon. While I don't fully understand what transpired, it's a riveting account of the Watergate scandal that rocked the country. What strikes me however and something many I think forget. I did, was his resignation and not impeachment despite the claims of perjury, obstruction of justice and abuse of power. It's easy to think he was force out while Bill Clinton was absurdly impeached for much less. Nixon actually had the grace and shame to step aside for the good of the country. It's a dramatic interview that begs the question if History might repeat itself in the quest for Truth or a facsimile there of. If History is the ultimate governor of truth, his this is honest redemption... almost. One can only hope lighting will strike twice.
