With the fallout from a White House-sponsored burglary in the Pentagon Papers case fresh in the headlines and his approval of a "clearly illegal" 1970 domestic intelligence plan about to become public, President Richard M. Nixon vigorously but elliptically defended such measures on May 23, 1973, at a Cabinet Room meeting with Republican congressional leaders.

Next week is the 25th anniversary of the Watergate burglary, but this inglorious moment is hardly ancient history. We are living daily with the legacy of Richard Nixon and the men who comprised his inner circle. Their gross misuse of power let loose a virus that lingers on, and its mutant strains have infected the ways in which the Congress, the press, the courts and the White House now process allegations of wrongdoing.

Henry Kissinger is right {"Stone's Nixon," op-ed, Jan. 24} . "Nixon" is not history. It is a dramatic portrait set against a historical landscape, a film that attempts to interpret a life, to get at the tragedy of a man who shaped an era the historical truth of which remains unsettled. And this latter fact is due in part, at least, to Henry Kissinger's continuing efforts to revise and reinterpret his own role in that period.

The authentic images of the real Richard Nixon will be replayed for generations. Two videos will likely stand out. First, Nixon's famous 1952 Checkers speech, one of live television's rawest and most emotional moments, in which he successfully appealed to the public for his political survival and forced Dwight Eisenhower to keep him on the ticket as his running mate. Second, Nixon's 1974 farewell to the White House staff the day he resigned the presidency -- another raw and emotional moment. In those 22

WHAT A DIFFERENCE an "or" makes. In my review of Jeffrey T. Richelson's A Century of Spies (Book World, Nov. 5), I made the distinction between spies and "idealistic press informants such as John Vanunu or the American who gave the Pentagon Papers to The Washington Post and The New York Times." Somehow the "or" went overboard, and Australia's first Anglican convert from Israel became a Washingtonian insider.
