THE historian Alonzo Hamby once opened 3 an essay about Richard Nixon by asking, "Why did we hate him so? ...
Hamby was writing not only as a historian but also as a liberal Democrat, and his point was that if you placed Watergate to one side -- the vilification of Nixon pre-dated the scandals, after all -- Nixons presidency should appear more congenial to liberals than conservatives.
Nixon abolished the draft, proposed a guaranteed income, instituted the first federal affirmative-action quotas, supported school busing for racial balance, founded the Environmental Protection Agency and vastly expanded the federal governments responsibility for workplace and consumer-product safety. ...

This isnt entirely fair, of course -- not to Democrats and not to Nixon. ... There rests the entire material record of the Nixon administration: 46 million pages of documents, 500,000 photographs and 3,700 hours of the famous secret tapes that proved Nixons undoing.
