Harry Shearer performs Richard Nixon
This is one for those of us old enough to remember the original. Harry Shearer inhabits Richard Nixon in the pilot episode of a verbatim comedic
re-creation of Nixon's Presidency. The series is called Nixon's The One, and includes Nixon's previously little known - and surprising - words to the CBS camera crew, which Shearer uncovered
using advanced audio restoration techniques.

If nothing else, a valuable demonstration of how people really speak, and how much is said using subtext rather than clear language.
