To Hell and Back book.
Bill Cohen of Maine and Howard Baker of Tennessee, who were willing from the get go to follow the evidence wherever it led.Here’s another intriguing historical factoid: It was only two months before Nixon’s resignation – after two years of Watergate coverage – that polls showed for the first time that a majority of American favored impeachment. When Watergate’s keystone criminals struck on June 17, 1972, Nixon’s likely reelection opponent was a little-known senator from South Dakota, George McGovern. He began his journalism career in Omaha and Atlanta before joining NBC News in 1966. He doesn’t need to.

The infamous break-in had occurred in June of 1972, and Nixon would resign the presidency on Aug. 9, 1974.The author, formerly the anchor of "NBC Nightly News" for more than two decades, has written an engaging account of a nation in turmoil. Brokaw’s subject used nefarious means to undermine his opponents, lied promiscuously in his own defense and excoriated the press as the font of his self-inflicted woes.Who does this sound like? Among the delicious tidbits herein is that in 1969, future felon Bob Halderman offered Brokaw the job of being Nixon’s press secretary. As Yogi Berra once observed in another context, “It’s like deja vu all over again.” Brokaw had a front-row seat to the Watergate scandal when, at the tender age of 33, he was named NBC’s White House correspondent in the summer of 1973.

“I have never heard or seen such outrageous, vicious, distorted reporting in 27 years of public life.”In “The Fall of Richard Nixon: A Reporter Remembers Watergate” (Random House, 240 pp., ★★★ out of four stars), the author doesn’t overplay the parallels between now and then. While this slim book leaves the reader wanting more pages, it also suffers from choppy prose and lax editing in places. Also noteworthy is that during Watergate, there were more than a few standup members of the loyal opposition, like Sens. Welcome back.
