Color illustration inscribed and signed: "To Selwyn Gamble/With

(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. Biography information on verso (no show
through). Creased and worn.
