Title: yellow journalism has not died
Product review: Having several other biographies of Richard Nixon, Anthony Summers' poorly written and clumsily edited tome fails to meet the competition. To those who have read this book and swallowed it as truth, all I can say is they must love fiction. Summers makes allegations and statements as fact without annotation or substantiation. He is also far too willing to take any quotation at face value. An example of the poor editing: In the early chapters, every time Dr. Hutschnecker's name is mentioned, Summers takes the pains to remind us he was Nixon's psychoanalyst - even if he had already done so on the previous page to say nothing of the previous mentions! Bottom line - Don't waste your time or money on this piece of sleazy yellow journalism. For all his flaws, Nixon will certianly survive this smear job.
