That Familiar, Un-Presidential Mystique

In Bob Woodward’s haste to point out the inaccuracies of Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” (“ ‘Nixon’: History or Stone’s Story?” Dec. 25), Woodward missed one of his own.

Woodward wrote, “The point is simple: America had the wrong person as president. Nixon was not suited to the office. It’s not just the criminality, the insularity, the almost total absence of higher purpose. It was the sheer inadequacy of the man, who could not order his own life, much less the life of the country.”

Obviously, Woodward meant to write “Clinton.”
