The old caricatures--Nixon as villainous schemer‚ mad bomber‚ domestic underachiever-- were bound to collapse‚ because they were built more on Nixon’s personality than on his record. A more recent crowd‚ however‚ at a further remove from his presidency‚ is reconsidering that record. Look beyond Watergate‚ they say‚ and you find a blemished
