evan thomas on my immediate left by contrast in "being nixon: a man divided" seeks to explain what it was like to be richard nixon. he summoned the great sympathy and compassion and understanding that the conflicted andultimately self-destructive person . there is plenty in tim weiner's book about self-destruction . but the approaches are very different and that's why these two major books by different offers, both of them experts in national security, both of them and written books about the cia. these are people who really ought to be read together. their books are very complementary. and it's great to focus in tim's book about some events like dealing with brezhnev and then to turn to evan's book and here in much more detail that for example brezhnev when he insisted in staying at the western white house is offering his wife but thought of her a masseuse who wore the same perfume as pat nixon and paraded up and down the hall. nixon was not pleased. so in weiner's career ... oh, so bad. tim weiner was the national security correspondent for the new york times. his book about the fbi

and evan thomas is a journalist and an editor with "newsweek" i for much of his career, and his book about the cia is called "the very best men" and he won the national magazine award. i it strikes me that both men were just excellent candidates for nixon's enemies lest. these were the kind of journalists with establishment journals like "newsweek" and the "washington post," "the new york times," rather, in mr. weiner's case. evan went to phillips academy and harvard and the grandson of man who ran six times for president as socialist, norman thomas help was not nixon's kind of guy and yet he writes a very compassionate biography, and mr. weiner went to columbia university and columbia school of journalism and "the new york times" was almost as much the "washington post," real antagonist of mr. nixon, at least in nixon's point of view. to my argument is just read these books together. one concentrates much more on specific events, like the war in vietnam, chile, the detente, dealings with china and russia, mr. weiner's book, and it very well complimented by evan's study of what it wa

i didn't have a chance to meet them, but if convicted liar of evan thomas. where did they book a number of years ago which it is by and got autographs from head. so i wanted to make sure when i knew that was coming. i read the mixing, which is one of the best and most sympathetic portrait i've ever read. if you're going to get to hear them, you'd like to have read it. one of the nice things in this business as he do have those opportunities more than a lot of other people do. >> host: on the night evan thomas was on the library of congress, how many other members? just go quite a few. they are very bipartisan. probably at least 50 of it paid there. but it got a big turnout. again, just a terrific book. i was sitting next to ken calvert, who i think he was like chairman of california's youth. he knew mixing very well. he was telling me about the congratulatory call he got from nick spent the won his heat in 92. he was talking about a guy who we both know, a wonderful guy who's a senior republican political guy but was a nixon speechwriter in california. he sa

evan thomas who wrote being mixed income that is a great book on my bedside. it's the balanced picture of mixing who was a remarkably successful president except for the watergate problem that was a big problem. but it was a very good -- he interviewed bob woodward very well. john meacham is the next one up. >> you've got a couple pictures here on your wall of you and richard nixon, but that was before your political career as governor of tennessee, wasn't it? >> s.. the first time i ran for governor, my opponent called the nixons choirboy. nixons choirboy. wonderful individual, a former eisenhower aid who has enormous respect for everybody and so that was the beginning of my political activity. i started before that with howard bake baker but that was y in my time. >> as president of the university of tennessee, what was your experience with the students when they came to reading and literature and some of the classes being taught? >> i try to drop in on the classes of interesting teacherse one of them isn't there anymore and his name was richard and he taugh
