Mr. Finkelstein fails to report that Thedore H. White re-rote his 1972 book, The Making of the President, because of the Watergate Scandal. Though The Reader might find it hard to find the evidence of it, I was aware of the re-write, because it was a bit of a scandal of the time! I voted in my first American Election 1968 and recall it quite vividly! And White’s offered an object lesson to all political commentators?

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
