Philatelic Envelope signed: "Richard Nixon", 6½x3½. First Day
Cover honoring Man's First Landing on the Moon, 10-cent U.S. stamp affixed,
postmarked September 9, 1969, Washington, D. C. and July 20, 1969, Moon
Landing, USA, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Richard Milhous 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
U.S. Senate (1951-1953) and serving two terms as Dwight D. Eisenhower's Vice
President (1953-1961). 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. Nixon's 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. Typed name at bottom margin. Fine
condition.
