Presidential Libraries of Reagan and Nixon Chart Different Courses with Historical Accuracy

alt

Presidential libraries are often relatively uncritical shrines to the presidents they honor, especially if the leader’s family and friends are still around to watch out for information that might sully their reputations.  The Nixon library is taking a warts-and-all approach to Nixon’s Watergate involvement, but the Reagan library still treats Reagan’s story as hagiography.  Shouldn’t presidential libraries managed by the National Archives be true to history?
