I Miss America:
I miss the fact that, even in his darkest hours, Nixon conducted regular, unscripted press conferences, his upper lip and enormous forehead beading with sweat as he fielded one tough question after another from unsycophantic (even openly hostile) journalists. I miss Nixon’s ability to speak in complete sentences and foment strategies that, even if you disagreed with them, were consistent.
