Nixon Wins!

By Murray Kempton
Our Gang
by Philip Roth

Random House, 200 pp., $5.95

It was Proust, I think, who was observed listening with so much concentration to Anatole France discoursing upon the Almighty that a bystander was impelled to remark, 'Marcel, I did not know you were so interested in God.' Proust replied, 'I am not especially interested in God, but I am very interested in M. Anatole France.' In that spirit, we are less interested in President Nixon than we are in Mr. Philip Roth.
