Picking on Poor Tricky Dick
Being a libertarian and not a Nixon-hating Democrat or a Nixon-loving Republican earned me the chance to review this book for the LA Times Book section. It also ran in the Biloxi Sun on 6/30/1980.
I started working part-time as a copy editor in the Times’ View section about two months earlier. The LAT had a circulation of about 1.1 million. My previous newspaper had been The Mt. Washington Press, a brave weekly paper in the eastern suburbs of Cincinnati. It had a circulation of about 5,000.
