RMN, one of the boys

RICHARD Milhous Nixon, the socially awkward 37th president, tried
being jocular with David Frost as they prepared for their famous 1977
TV interviews, which inspired the smash Broadway show. “Mr. Nixon
turned to me and quite casually asked, ‘Well, did you do any
fornicating this weekend?’ For a moment I could not believe the
evidence of my own ears. Richard Nixon didn’t say that, did he? He
couldn’t have,” Frost writes in “Frost/Nixon - Behind the Scenes of
the Nixon Interviews,” out this October. “I had indeed heard
right . . . I suppose Nixon liked to fancy himself one of the boys.”
