Nixon does say he let the country down, but couches his confession is so many subordinate clauses that he could leave the ring believing Frost's knockout was only technical. If the exchange lacks the score-settling flourish of Morgan's version, it leaves us with our abiding take on Nixon: Tricky Dick to the last...
