Reinventing Richard Nixon : A Cultural History Of An American Obsession

Attribution
Daniel Frick
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2008
Description
He cites reinventions of Nixon from the late 1980s, particularly the museum at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, to demonstrate the resilience of certain national mythic narratives in the face of liberal critiques. With dozens of illustrations–Nixon posing with Elvis (the National Archives’ most requested photo), Nixonian cultural artifacts, classic editorial cartoons–no other book collects in one place such varied images of Nixon from so many diverse media. Whether your image of Nixon is shaped by his autobiography Six Crises, Oliver Stone’s surprisingly sympathetic film Nixon, John Adams’s landmark opera Nixon in China, or by the saga of Watergate, Reinventing Richard Nixon expands on all perspectives.

David Moore rings an alarm bell that democracy is endangered by the way the news media use public opinion polls. Bagdikian, author of The New Media Monopoly “The account of how news stories drive polls should make us stop and ask whether the close relationship between the newsroom and polling operations is perhaps a bit too close. Lance Bennett, director, Center for Communication and Civic Engagement University of Washington, Seattle “We all know that the corporate press conducts its own opinion polls and keeps headlining the results as if such stuff were news.
