Featured review
Sometimes Hollywood incorrectly stereotypes the 1970's as a "fun" or "easy" period of time.
Those who lived it or truly study it, however, know that the fun was always mixed with an undercurrent of change and the fight of honor versus dishonor.
It was a very political time.
---
Martha Mitchell Effect is the term when a psychiatrist misdiagnoses someone as delusional when the story they tell--though improbable--is true. And so it was with Martha herself.
She was the first Cassandra voice of corruption at the top. The first to question the impact Nixon would have historically.
People who dismiss the time period lightly would do well to respect that many of the roots of political division we have now began in 1972.
