Title
Image of James Reston and Georges Clemenceau, 1974
Description
This item depicts two side-by-side images: Georges Clemenceau on the left and James Reston on the right. The image of Reston is the same image used on the cover of his impeachment diary, "How It Felt: The Impeachment Diary of James Reston, Jr., 27 June-13 August 1974." Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) served as Prime Minister of France (1906-1909 and 1917-1920). From 1865 to 1869, Clemenceau lived in the United States and wrote a diary of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson for the Parisian newspaper, Le Temps. Reston references Clemenceau several times in his own diary, noting the similarities between the two men.
