The book better describes what a sleazy crook Nixon really was.

The '70s were a dark age for fashion.

Luckily for me, I missed out on them. When I came of age Cords and cotton shirts were the rage.
Do you know anyone that have 70s fashion on mothballs? A 70s clothing museum would make a killing.

I remember that time like it all happened yesterday.
I was in my early 20's and I watched the hearings on TV, and read about it every week in Newsweek magazine. Also I read Woodward & Bernstein's book when it came out. The movie is great too, but it does skip some of the details that are in the book.
