RE: The Chennault Affair and Paris peace talks. It did come out eventually, although after Watergate. But even before it came out, there were suspicions about the failure of peace talks and Nixon's claim to have a "secret solution with honor" in Vietnam. There were discussions among my coworkers and the college student friends of my then boyfriend that they suspected that Nixon sabotaged the peace talks in order to make himself look like the only "savior" who could resolve the war.
Nixon's shady past, before becoming president, is not new to me and was not new to many. My ex, who was a political junkie and devoted Nixon hater, filled me in on a lot of them. (He was 7 years older than me. I was in grade school during the Ike years, and not born yet for Nixon's earliest politics.)
The film does say that there was a much larger and older, ongoing picture than Watergate, but only mentions a few specifics.
