A Whiter Wash
By William Shawcross
Breach of Faith: The Fall of Richard Nixon
by Theodore H. White
Atheneum, 373 pp., $10.95
Mr. White's book will probably have more influence on popular thinking about Watergate than any other to be published. Much of it has already appeared in the Reader's Digest (US circulation: 17.8 million); it is a Book of the Month Club choice, 300,000 copies are 'in print,' and such is the devotion of White's public that it is likely to remain a best seller for a long time. There are perhaps millions of people, from Washington to Washington, who have been waiting for Teddy White to explain to them, in his authoritative and reassuring voice, the 'meaning' of the Nixon years and Watergate.
