Oliver Stone’s 1991 movie, “JFK,” flunked even this test. Stone’s apparent thesis, that LBJ, the Pentagon and the CIA somehow conspired to kill President Kennedy, would be laughable if so many people didn’t believe it (polls show that half of the country believes that the CIA played a role in killing Kennedy). “Nixon,” on the other hand, is a much more credible effort. Richard Nixon was a Shakespearean tragedy. Stone had no need to embellish the drama....
