37th President (1969-1974) of the U.S. in 1968 after representing
California in the U.S. House of Representatives (1947-1951) and U.S.
Senate (1951-1953) and serving two terms as Dwight D. Eisenhower's Vice
President. Nixon lost (1960), then won (1968), extremely close Presidential
elections (facing John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, respectively), then won
re-election by a landslide against George McGovern in 1972. His
re-election triumph rapidly turned sour, however, as the burgeoning Watergate
scandal claimed more and more of his key aides and finally compelled his own
resignation. A pragmatic conservative who gained an early reputation as an
anti-Communist, Nixon would achieve diplomatic triumphs in relations with
China and the Soviet Union. At home, Nixon initiated plans to improve the
environment and added four conservative justices, including Chief Justice Warren
E. Burger, to the U.S. Supreme Court. The first President to employ the 25th
Amendment, he chose Gerald R. Ford to replace the resigning Spiro T. Agnew
as his Vice President. Nixon's prolific writings in his retirement years
hastened his re-emergence as an elder statesman. A prominent Texas Republican,
ANNE ARMSTRONG (1927-2008) served was the first woman appointed Counselor to
the President (with Cabinet rank) by Presidents Nixon and Ford (1973-1974).
She was Ambassador to Great Britain (1976-1977), and chaired the
President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (1981-1990). She has served
on many corporate boards, including American Express, Boise Cascade,
Halliburton and General Motors. President Reagan awarded her the Presidential
Medal of Freedom (1987). Armstrong signature slightly smudged. Otherwise,
fine condition.
