U.S. Archivist names Timothy Naftali Director of Nixon Library. (These announcements are made after careful coordination. See what Richard Norton Smith said about the consultation process, former Presidents, etc. in Paula Span's article, posted at http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/hsts507/doel/preslib.htm) For the news story about Naftali's appointment, see http://shrinkster.com/duu . I don't yet see the press release on NARA's external website, I'll link to it when it goes up. Dr. Naftali has done a lot of work with the Kennedy tapes. See his articles about his work with the Miller Center on the History News Network at http://hnn.us/articles/21952.html and http://hnn.us/articles/10421.html The second article links at the bottom to comments, including some from me last year. Dr. Naftali did not respond to them. Google Dr. Naftali if you want to read more about his books, etc., sorry I don't have time to post more right now.
