    Short of this, the cover of Time magazine and anointment by the Nobel committee would have to do. The complicated politicking, the endless negotiations leading to the "great events" of the Nixon-Kissinger "co-presidency", are rendered here with pointillist precision.

    The detail can be overwhelming, and Dallek's use of acronyms creates the kind of despair that makes one want to call the Samaritans. Or in the following double-speak exchange, immediately after Augusto Pinochet's coup in Chile:. Nixon: "Our hand doesn't show on this one though.

    Actually, they were worse, as even Frank Sinatra didn't want to be seen in their company. Or in the following double-speak exchange, immediately after Augusto Pinochet's coup in Chile: Nixon: "Our hand doesn't show on this one though. Topics Books.
