frost/nixon

saw frost/nixon with the kids at the rave the other night. i can still remember the moment when mistrust of government became an article of faith with almost everybody. (my high school buddies and i were watching a met game and covered the tv screen with shaving cream when they interrupted it with tricky dick's resignation.) my middle daughter very perceptively asked if nixon reminded me of her grandfather (whose two all-time favorite tv shows of all time were the watergate and army-mccarthy hearings). i told her that yes, he did, back when i was a teenager, even though my father _hated_ nixon. still need to see doubt.
