Quote: Richard Nixon

  

“Voters quickly forget what a man says.”

-  Richard M Nixon (1913 - 1994)

Photographs: Nixon Departs

Yesterday I used a photo of Richard Nixon  to illustrate my item on the Vulcan greeting.  The photo showed Nixon in one of his famous poses of hands held high with fingers outstretched in V signs.  The photo is of interest for the reasons set out below.

Richard Milhouse Nixon (1913-1994) was the 37th President of the US between 1969 and 1974. Notwithstanding his achievements in domestic and international affairs, as well as economic management and civil rights advances, his Presidency will forever be equated with the Watergate scandal and his resignation from the Presidency to avoid impeachment. He remains the only President to have resigned from office.
