This timely compilation of papers was originally presented at the
1987 Hofstra University Conference on the Nixon Presidency.
Bringing together noted Nixon scholars, including Stephen Ambrose,
Tom Wicker, and Hugh Sidey, and politicos such as Eliot Richardson,
Maurice Stans, H.R. Haldeman, and Robert Finch, the editors have
included essays primarily on domestic policies. A lively section on
Nixon the man is followed by scholarly articles on all aspects of
the domestic agenda. Notable contributions include David Caputo's
analysis of revenue sharing and Michael Balzano's study of the
adrift Democrats who emerged as Nixon's silent majority and
ultimately as the Reagan coalition . . . . [A] worthy addition for
specialized collections. Library Journal Thirteen years after
Richard Nixon left office Hofstra University's sixth conference on
the Modern American Presidency sets the stage for an exchange of
views on Richard M. Nixon's presidency, his politics, and his
administrative abilities. Leon Friedman and William F. Levantrosser
bring together the papers and discussions presented at this
conference by scholars, journalists, and Nixon administration
officials in this first of a trilogy of volumes issuing from the
conference. With the perspective of time, the commentary of leading
administration figures such as H. R. Haldeman, Elliot Richardson,
Maurice Stans, and Charles Colson takes on a special quality.
Papers and discussions explore three major aspects of Richard
Nixon: his capacity for greatness, his shortcomings, and his impact
on today's youth; the scope and depth of his domestic policy; and
his political acumen. Richard M. Nixon: Politician, President,
Administrator records the interactions of scholars, journalists,
and Nixon administration officials as they search for a better
understanding of the Nixon phenomenon. Part I explores the man--his
persona and his presidency. A special panel presents the reaction
of today's youth to this segment of American history. Part II
concentrates primarily on domestic policy. It uncovers the scope
and depth of Nixon initiatives in revenue sharing, social welfare,
civil rights, environment, and the economy. In Part III, papers and
discussions on the silent majority, election campaigning, and the
reorganization of the executive branch, disclose Richard Nixon's
role in changing the face of American politics.
