Extractions: "It's very difficult to psychoanalyze oneself," Richard Nixon once said. "Most people would give me rather low grades as far as 'charisma' and 'gregariousness' and all that sort of thing that the politician is supposed to have. . . . But the essence of every great leader I have known-and I'm not saying I'm great-he was a lonely man." Richard Milhous Nixon was born in 1913 and grew up poor in the small town of Whittier, California. His mother was a well-educated Quaker, whom he called a saint. His father was uneducated, working many jobs, and had a reputation for starting arguments with just about everyone.

Extractions: President Gerald R. Ford's Remarks on Signing a Proclamation Granting Pardon to Richard Nixon September 8, 1974 Listen to excerpts from the speech as delivered by President Ford in .wav format (file size 2.3 MB) Ladies and gentlemen: I have come to a decision which I felt I should tell you and all of my fellow American citizens, as soon as I was certain in my own mind and in my own conscience that it is the right thing to do. I have learned already in this office that the difficult decisions always come to this desk. I must admit that many of them do not look at all the same as the hypothetical questions that I have answered freely and perhaps too fast on previous occasions. My customary policy is to try and get all the facts and to consider the opinions of my countrymen and to take counsel with my most valued friends. But these seldom agree, and in the end, the decision is mine. To procrastinate, to agonize, and to wait for a more favorable turn of events that may never come or more compelling external pressures that may as well be wrong as right, is itself a decision of sorts and a weak and potentially dangerous course for a President to follow. I have promised to uphold the Constitution, to do what is right as God gives me to see the right, and to do the very best that I can for America.

Richard Nixon's Greatest Cover-Up By Don Fulsom Site claims nixon's ties to the assassination of president Kennedy run deep, pointing to supposed associations with Jack Ruby, Jimmy Hoffa, the Mafia and CIA operative E. Howard Hunt. http://www.crimemagazine.com/03/richardnixon,1014.htm
Extractions: His Ties to the Assassination of President Kennedy by Don Fulsom S eared into the memories of all Americans who lived through the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is exactly where they were on November 22, 1963. Yet private citizen Richard Nixon, who believe it or not was in Dallas, could not recall this fact in a post-assassination interview with the FBI. The interview dealt with an apparently false claim by Marina Oswald that her husband alleged Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had targeted Nixon for death during an earlier trip to Dallas. A Feb. 28, 1964 FBI report on the interview said Nixon "advised that the only time he was in Dallas, Texas, during 1963 was two days prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy." While Nixon eventually came clean regarding his whereabouts on that fateful day, he seemed touchy whenever the matter was raised. For example, in a 1992 interview with CNN's Larry King, Nixon interjected he was in Dallas "In the morning!" when King cited the presumed geographical coincidence. Nixon left Dallas on a flight to New York several hours before Kennedy's noontime arrival at Love Field.

Extractions: Of all the requests made each year to the National Archives for reproductions of photographs and documents, one item has been requested more than any other. That item, more requested than the Bill of Rights or even the Constitution of the United States, is the photograph of Elvis Presley and Richard M. Nixon shaking hands on the occasion of Presley's visit to the White House. The Meeting The Documents The Photos On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. The events leading up to and after the meeting are detailed in the documentation and photographs included here, which include Presley's handwritten letter, memoranda from Nixon staff and aides, and the thank-you note from Nixon for the gifts (including a Colt 45 pistol and family photos) that Presley brought with him to the Oval Office. These materials chronicling the Presley-Nixon meeting were obtained from the Nixon Presidential Materials Project at the National Archives at College Park (College Park, Maryland).

Biography Of First Lady Pat Nixon Biographical sketch with family photos detailing the childhood and life experiences of the First Lady and her marriage to the 37th president of the United States, richard M. nixon. http://www.nixonfoundation.org/TheNixons/PatNixon.shtml
Extractions: President Nixon Biography Mrs. Nixon Biography Speeches and Quotes Mrs. Nixon Biography Patricia Nixon, the wife of the 37 th President of the United States, was born in Ely, Nevada. Her mother, Kate Halberstadt Ryan, named her daughter Thelma Catherine. Her father, William Ryan, coming home past midnight from his work in the mines, learned of her birth and called her his "St. Patrick's babe in the morn." She was to be "Pat" to him always. Kate Halberstadt Ryan, born in Essen County, near Frankfurt, Germany, had come to the United States as a child of ten to visit an uncle who had no family. She fell in love with America and never returned to Germany. She was a widow with two children when she married William Ryan in 1909. Mrs. Nixon was the youngest of the three children born to them. Her brothers, William and Thomas Ryan, lived in California until their deaths in 1991 and 1997, respectively. Before Mrs. Nixon was a year old, Kate Ryan, whose first husband had been killed in a mining accident, persuaded William Ryan to give up mining. The family then moved from Nevada to California, settling on a small farm in Artesia, 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Today, the site of this home in Cerritos is the Pat Nixon Park. The future First Lady had a childhood with no luxuries except that of a warm and loving family. But this was shattered when her mother died in 1925. At the age of 13, Mrs. Nixon took over the household duties for her father and her brothers. Two years later, when she was attending Excelsior High School, her father became seriously ill and she cared for him, as she had her mother, until his death in 1930. She was then 18, a high school graduate and completely on her own.

HE WAS A LIAR AND A QUITTER, AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED AT SEA.... BUT HE WAS, AFTER ALL, THE PRESIDENT. "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." -Revelation 18:2 R ichard Nixon is gone now, and I am poorer for it. He was the real thing a political monster straight out of Grendel and a very dangerous enemy. He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time. He lied to his friends and betrayed the trust of his family. Not even Gerald Ford, the unhappy ex-president who pardoned Nixon and kept him out of prison, was immune to the evil fallout. Ford, who believes strongly in Heaven and Hell, has told more than one of his celebrity golf partners that "I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon."

Character Above All: Richard M. Nixon Essay Essay provides a brief look at the circumstances and events that molded the president's character. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/essays/nixon.html
Extractions: RICHARD M. NIXON Excerpted from an essay by Tom Wicker Richard Nixon was an introvert in the extroverted calling of the politician. And as if that were not problem enough for him, he was an intellectual appealing to a public that puts low value on eggheads. I don't mean an intellectual in the stereotypical sense of a cloistered scholar; I mean that Nixon was a highly intelligent man who relied greatly on his own intelligence and that of others, who had a considerable capacity to read and understand technical papers, who retreated to a room alone and wrote in longhand on a yellow legal pad the gist of his major speeches, who impressed associates with his ability to evaluate disinterestedly the pros and cons of a problem, who in the opinion of Arthur Burns, whom he appointed to head the Federal Reserve, could have "held down a chair in political science or law in any of our major universities." Any number of Richard Nixon's associates will tell you that glad-handing and pressing the flesh did not come naturally or congenially to him. When closely observed, he always seemed somehow ill at ease. His gestures when he spoke the counting of points on the fingers, the arms upstretched in the victory sign or sweeping around his body like a matador flicking a cape before a bullthe body language always seemed a little out of sync with what he was saying, as if a sound track were running a little ahead of or behind its film.

Extractions: Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994), 37th president of the United States, and the first to resign from office, while facing almost certain impeachment for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. Five months after graduation Nixon was admitted to the California bar, and joined a legal firm. On June 21, 1940, he married Thelma Catherine Patricia Ryan, nicknamed "Pat". Though orphaned at the age of 17, she had worked her way through college, and was teaching at the town's high school when he met her. They had two daughters, Patricia (called Tricia), born February 21, 1946, and Julie, born July 5, 1948. Nixon practiced law until 1942. When the United States entered World War II, he worked briefly for the Office of Price Administration, in Washington, D.C., and then served in the navy as a supply officer in the South Pacific, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander. Working hard in the Senate, Nixon served on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee. He became a popular speaker at Republican Party affairs, and in 1952, the Republican National Convention nominated him for Vice President to run with General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Democratic opponents accused him of accepting a "secret slush fund" from California businessmen, and he was nearly dropped from the ticket. But on September 23 1952, Nixon gave an emotional address on radio and television. Called the "Checkers" speech, because of a sentimental reference to his dog Checkers, Nixon discussed his personal finances in detail, showing that he had not profited personally from the fund. His self-defense tactic worked, and Republicans hailed him as a hero. Eisenhower retained him as running mate, and the two were swept into office by a margin of more than 6 million votes over the Democratic contender for president, Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois.

His upbringing is said to have been marked by such conservative Quaker observances as refraining from drinking, dancing, and swearing. However, this is doubtful, as the evangelical sect of Quakerism known as Friends Churches, having been largely organized by itinerant Methodists, bore little resemblance to the traditional 'unprogrammed' Quaker religion, with its silent worship, avoidance of paid clergy, and strict adherence to pacifism. In any case, his father was less religious, focusing on the family business, a store that sold groceries and gasoline. There is much debate as to whether Nixon went through the expected Quaker soul-searching attendant on whether to become a conscientious objector in World War II. During the period of his political career, however, he was not a practicing Quaker.
