Letter: Tricky Dicky and the Chilean connection
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Matthew Hoffman's article 'Even now, I wouldn't buy a used car from him' (25 April) makes no attempt to generate a balanced view of Richard Nixon's international achievements combined with his manifest flaws, but it is itself an example of just that blinding hatred that Mr Hoffman characterises in Mr Nixon as 'pathological paranoia'.
Why is it that representatives of the Sixties generation, supposedly informed by the sentiments of universal love, remain capable of such vindictive savagery towards those with whom they disagree?
Yours faithfully,
Chipperfield, Hertfordshire
25 April
