It would be nice to see people in this city government experience the shame, humiliation and public vilification that the Nixon administration did. Then Landen wouldn't have to play the role in some skit, but rather, experience it first-hand.

His comment concerning people losing power is appropriate and ironic, given the fact that he and others are in the power chair, at least for now and are acting the part. It would be justice for the people for him, Mulligan, Gilleland, the MMF'ers and others to experience a "stripping of power".

We need a catalyst like Watergate to bring this city government down. Some bit of information that would infuriate even the most apathetic person in this town. ]]> Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:23:51 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4458&PID=32305&title=landens-latest#32305 Landen's latest... : A two-man play, “Nixon’s... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4458&PID=32304&title=landens-latest#32304 Author: Mike_Presta

A two-man play, “Nixon’s Nixon”, is being presented by alocal theater group.  City Law DirectorLes Landon is to portray Henry Kissinger. (Some might say that it would be less of a stretch for him to portrayNixon.)

I present, for your consideration, an excerpt from theMiddletown Journal story on that play:

“What I think the play is reallyabout is what happens when people are faced with the idea of giving up thepower they have,” said Landen. “And how difficult that is and how it impactsthe way people will behave.”

 Life imitating art…orart imitating life???  You make the call.
