I picked up this glossy coffee-table book about
Robert Altman at
Square Books a while back. It includes a facsimile of a letter Altman received in
1983: "In talking with
my daughter Julie recently, she told me that one of her all time favorite movies was your
'Nashville'. I did not get to see it and wondered if by chance it has been or will be released in a cassette. Don't go to too much trouble but if your secretary could check it out, I would appreciate it. With warm regards, Sincerely,
Richard Nixon."
