"Movies and Richard Milhous Nixon can each tell us a lot about America. In this sui generis study—combining film analysis, social history, psychological observation, and political biography—Mark Feeney reminds us that Nixon and the movies can also tell us a lot about each other. It will take further decades fully to understand the subliminal life of RMN. Here's a great beginning."—Kevin Starr
"In Nixon at the Movies, Mark Feeney has given us a thought-provoking and truly original book—a work filled with incisive insights into a fascinating figure."—Robert A. Caro
What Nixon Saw and
When He Saw It
by Mark Feeney
Appendix from Nixon at the Movies: A Book about Belief
|
This list of Nixon screenings is primarily drawn from the President's Daily Diary, which was kept by the Secret Service throughout his presidency. During much of 1969, the diary was kept in a sketchier fashion than during 1970–73. In December 1973, the White House became increasingly anxious about leaks as Watergate worsened and directed the Secret Service to keep a less detailed record of the president's daily schedule.
Citations that do not list a date, site, or both, are drawn from one of three sources: The Haldeman Diaries; a 1970 memorandum Rose Mary Woods prepared in response to a Newsweek query as to what films Nixon had seen while president; or, from the second half of December 1973 until August 1974, the personal logs kept by White House projectionist Paul Fisher.
I am very grateful to Mr. Fischer for sharing that information, as well as to Irv Letofsky for putting me in touch with him.
