Now that half the population of the world is too young to even know what the Watergate Tapes are, the last of the lot becomes public: "Nixon also told Brezhnev why he dared to moderate his outlook in his historic visit to China, infuriating once adoring conservatives. He explained that if he maintained the Cold War’s “silent confrontation” with China “in the end we would reap a nuclear war. No question.” "Quite unintentionally, Nixon thus offered a lesson to politicians across the ages about the value of easing an obsessive political identity. It could resonate creatively these days as zealous Republicans cling to hard-line intransigence."
