Richard Nixon and His 1975 Grand Jury Testimony

Thanks to a federal judge's ruling, President Richard Nixon's 1975 grand jury testimony has been released to the public. The comments so far are fascinating. In the excerpt noted in today's LA Times, Tricky Dick talks about the buying and selling of ambassadorships, the quality of State Department careerists, and Nixon's opinion of certain nations.

Who needs memoirs when Nixon's grand jury testimony is far more compelling reading?
