[0:29] This week with David Brinkley. Now from
[0:32] Washington, David Brinkley. Mixon the
[0:36] movie. It's good but too long. Three and
[0:39] a half hours of it. How much of it is

[1:33] and a consultant to Oliver Stone in
[1:35] making the movie.
[1:37] General Alexander Heg, Nixon's chief of
[1:40] staff.
[1:42] Bob Woodward of the Washington Post who
[1:44] with the help of Deep Throat he says dug
[1:47] out the news and Steven Ambrose Nixon's
[1:50] biographer
[1:52] and our discussion with George Will
[1:55] Ki Roberts and Bill Crystal on our
