Nixon (1913-1994) was elected 37th President of the United States in 1968
after representing California in the U.S. House of Representatives
(1947-1951) and Senate (1951-53) and serving two terms as Dwight D. Eisenhower's
Vice President. He lost (1960), then won, 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
in August, 1974. A pragmatic conservative who gained an early reputation as an
anti-communist but achieved diplomatic triumphs in relations with China and
the Soviet Union, Nixon's prolific writing in his retirement years helped
repair his reputation and hasten his re-emergence as an elder statesman. Ink
beaded at "hard" of Richard and "ixon" of Nixon. Otherwise, fine
condition.
