		Aitken lied does not mean he is guilty" and claims to have received a letter from the ex- minister's solicitor, Richard Sykes, saying that his client had lied about the Paris weekend "for entirely honourable reasons".
		Aitken's humiliating climbdown, which has certainly permanently wrecked his political career, was precipitated by the discovery of new evidence concerning the whereabouts of his wife and daughter over the weekend of 17-19 September 1993.

	Tricky Chuck
		Not only did Nixon's standing remain abysmal, but in 1999, in a glorious karmic turn, Aitken himself was sentenced to 18 months in prison for perjury and obstructing justice -- in a libel suit that (shades of Alger Hiss) he initiated.
		Aitken dwells instead on how Colson has "redeemed" himself as the head of Prison Fellowship, an organization he founded to convert prisoners to evangelical Christianity.
		Nor does Aitken discuss the irony that Colson has gained a national platform less because of his prison work than because of his criminality; while many religious activists with clean records toil away unsolicited by the media, Colson wins attention because op-ed editors and television bookers know that his Watergate infamy will reliably generate buzz.

	Richard Nixon and the Quakers
		All Aitken knows of this phenomenon which he agrees shaped the Nixonian character is what the late president told him, supplemented by a review of some fascinating but sketchy oral history interviews with old-time residents of Nixon's hometown of Whittier, California.
		Aitken's narrative is entirely innocent of this background to Nixon's experience in the course, but he does quote extensively from the papers Richard Nixon prepared for Coffin.
		Aitken professes to be astounded by both the explanation and the corresponding public response, considering them examples of invincible American provincialism.

	The self-destruction of Jonathan Aitken
		JONATHAN AITKEN will live forever with the shame of having involved his teenaged daughter Victoria in an attempt to deceive the High Court, the Old Bailey was told yesterday.
		Aitken had claimed when giving evidence in his 1995 libel case against the Guardian and Granada Television that his wife Lolicia had paid the bill for a weekend stay at the Ritz Hotel in Paris in September 1993.
		The court was told that Aitken's false denial, in a response to a letter from Peter Preston, then editor of the Guardian, that Mr Ayas had paid his Ritz bill, effectively trapped him into perjury once the lie became part of the libel case.

		Aitken praises Nixon for every decision he ever made, but most of all for three triumphs in foreign policy: the opening to China, detente with the Soviet Union and ending the war in Vietnam.
		Aitken had privileged access to Nixon, who ordinarily refused to give interviews to historians, and therefore has some new material.
		Aitken has Nixon quoting Eisenhower as saying in 1963, "Why couldn't the British and French have done it more quickly?" Perhaps Eisenhower did say that to Nixon, but in my own interviews with Eisenhower in the mid-1960s, the former president said just the opposite.
