Real Nixon Meets "Frost/Nixon"

The LA Times notes the correlation between the opening in select theaters of Ron Howard’s “Frost/Nixon” on Friday and the opening in select archives of new White House tapes and documents today:
We’re not sure what this double whammy is going to do to the image of Richard Nixon. Just as the movie “Nixon/Frost” comes out, the public will also get to hear a whole new crop of those infamous Nixon White House tapes. In fact, some come online at the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda today.
Warning to researchers: Please, no popcorn in the reading room!
