Dear Mr. Bush:
Enclosed is a copy of the AIM Report for October. The entire
issue is devoted to Victor Lasky's devastating critique of the Wood-
ward and Bernstein book, The Final Days. I think you will find it
of interest.
Accuracy in Media (AIM) has been engaging in combat with inaccu-
rate and biased journalists for the past seven years. We have taken
on Woodward and Bernstein previously for their failure to report on
thetprior knowledge of the Watergate break-in by high officials of the
Democratic National Committee and columnist Jack Anderson. We finally
got that story into the Washington Post by buying a full page ad to
tell it in all its intriguing detail.
In recent months the AIM Report has exposed the New York Times
for publication of an article slanted to favor the communist regime
in Vietnam under a false name, with no indication that the identity
of the author was being concealed. We revealed the author to be an
official of the U. N. in Vietnam.
We showed how our tax-supported public television system aired
a program on migrant farm workers in Florida that was a propaganda
pitch for Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers Union. It was
actually produced by people active in the Chavez movement!
We have shown how CBS has distorted the facts in an effort to
persuade the public that industry is largely to blame for cancer.
We have taken apart two CBS "documentaries" on the subject of chemi-
cals and cancer.
We showed how the Eastern media downplayed revelations by the
Los Angeles Times about campaign expenditures by the Carter campaign
that violated the new federal election campaign laws.
You have probably heard about the great work AIM is doing. Why
not join us? Contributions to AIM are tax-deductible.

THE WOODSTEIN RIPOFF
We double-checked everything. If we could not get two
sources on something, we left it out. And we gave
everybody the opportunity to comment. No rumor or
gossip was used. Nobody has disputed any fact.
-Bob Woodward, as quoted in
US. News & World Report,
April 12, 1976
The fact is that the principals described in this book,
the sources of information for this book, and those
who are making comments about this book all know
the accuracy of this account. We stand behind every
word of it.
-Carl Bernstein, as quoted in
Newsweek, April 12, 1976
The book, of course, is The Final Days, an account purport-
ing to describe in detail what went on in the White House
during the fifteen months prior to Richard Nixon's resigna-
tion as President of the United States.
According to co-author Woodward, the book "is an accurate
account and will stand the test of time."
But, according to John Osborne, "it is on the whole the
worst job of nationally noted reporting that I've observed
during forty-nine years in the business."
Osborne, who has been "watching" the White House for
The New Republic for many years, also took issue with the
methodology used in obtaining material for the Woodstein
tome.
"In this book," wrote Osborne, "they profess to report
only what they've been told by `at least two people.' That
is crap ... Some of the best stories I've ever gotten were
known to one person only, the person who told me. Wood-
stein must know it's crap. The fact that they persist in the
fiction in this book is a sign of insecurity ..."
Also "crap" is Woodstein's repeated contention that, ex-
cept for pro forma denials, no one has ever seriously dis-
puted anything reported in The Final Days. This just isn't
true. For, as we shall see, numerous individuals have ques-
SOMETHING SPECIAL
The Final Days by Woodward and Bernstein ("Wood-
stein") commanded the attention of the media with
its portrayal of Richard Nixon as a man out of con-
trol and its gossip about Mrs. Nixon and intimate
family matters. But is it accurate? Victor Lastiy,
author of J.F.K., The Man and the Myth and the
forthcoming book, The Assassination of Richard
Nixon, says NO. A friend of many of those who
figured in the "Woodstein" book, including the
Nixons, Lasky tells why in this devastating critique.

tioned the accuracy of events described by the authors who
keep claiming that they checked everything out with at
least two sources. And a number of these individuals have
said they were never even interviewed by the "dogged duo."
as Woodward and Bernstein have been described in T':
New York Times.
Reading Finch's Mind
A case in point is the page-long description (pp.:55-256)
of Robert Finch's visit to San Clemente at the height of the
impeachment proceedings. Finch, of course. is an old frie__d
of the President and a former Secretary of Health. Educa-
tion and Welfare. As Woodstein described the meetir!a:
Finch thought that Nixon looked very tired. The Presi-
dent seemed fatalistic about his prospects; there was no
hint of what he might do to avoid impeachment. The
country had become so consumed by Watergate, Nixon
said, that foreign affairs and the economy were being
neglected. He could not just abdicate his position of
leadership-resign in the face of the unstable world
situation.
Finch was struck by the force of the President's u:or`,
the conviction behind them. He had arrived thing
that perhaps Nixon wanted to ask him to come ^ack to
Washington to help with the defense. But that was not
the purpose of the invitation, though Finch was not

Dear Mr. Bush,
Your remarks at the Association of Naval Avaition banquet were
outstanding and made the event a very memorable one. I 'snow I can
speak for each attendee and say how grateful we are to you for taking
time from your demanding schedule to join us for our first annual
convention.
Naturally I was delighted to be your partner at the tennis
tournament and was pleased you were able to carry me to the winners'
circle. I have enclosed a few pictures taken at the Virginia Beach
Racquet Club that you may enjoy. There is one duplicate picture of
you standing between my wife Joyce and myself and if it is not too
much trouble I would appreciate your signing it and sending it back
to me. It would be a fine memento of a great afternoon.
Once again, my sincere thanks for the support you gave the
Association of Naval Aviation. I believe that this group can
provide a meaningful voice in making people aware of the past,
present and future contributions of naval avaition to our national
security.

Dear President Demske:
Thank you for inviting me to participate in the
William H. Fitzpatrick Lecture Series at Canisius
College. I was most honored to be an invitee. Un-
fortunately, this fall schedule of mine is absolutely
unbelievable and I do not think that I can make it in
either October or tovemher.
Should rain checks be available, I would like to
have one. Possibly I could come up there sometime in
1977 should there be an opening in the schedule.
The honorarium sounds overly generous but you
should know that I do not accept honoraria. Thank
you for your kind invitation.
Sincerely yours,
