NIXON (PBS, Oct. 15, 8 p.m. on most stations). A rich selection of old news clips, plus fresh comments from such former aides as John Ehrlichman and Charles Colson, make this three-hour American Experience documentary on the ex-President's life worth an evening...

Predictably, both Republican and Democratic Governors exploded, complaining that the idea would make it impossible to balance the budgets in their hard-pressed states. Democratic summiteers labeled the new tax a political maneuver. Within days the talks broke down. Darman later claimed to reporters that the Administration "never wanted" to eliminate the deduction...
