President Richard Nixon placed a phone call to the moon and led the way in establishing a closer relationship with China, but he is best remembered for Watergate and the ill-advised installation of a voice-activated tape recorder in the Oval Office. In Our Nixon, audio recordings are presented along with Super 8 movie footage shot by White House Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman, Domestic Affairs Adviser John Ehrlichman, and Deputy Assistant Dwight Chapin. These three young men, running the daily affairs of a doomed ship, made the films while on the job, both in the White House and on official trips. The footage is intimate and sometimes downright goofy (on a trip to Rome, the first angle on the Pope is sideways) and is cut together with contemporary television reports by Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters, Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, and others. This rich documentary gives a fresh and fascinating look at this tumultuous time in the American presidency.  TBW
