A mildly amusing typo from the first edition of Rick Perlstein’s Nixonland, where he recalls a 1969 visit by Richard Nixon to a college in South Dakota (p. 390):

Nixon ended with a call to morality: “In pubic life, we have seen reputations destroyed by smears and gimmicks paraded as panaceas. We have heard shrill voices of hate shouting lies and sly voices of malice twisting facts.”

I always love that typo.
