RICHARD NIXON
Richard Nixon signs a program for the tenth annual El Centro Optimist
Youth Service Award on January 29, 1962.
Program inscribed and signed: "To Barbara/from/Dick Nixon",
4p, 5½x8½. Blue, oval 2x3½ photograph of Nixon on cover. Tenth annual El
Centro Optimist Youth Service Award on January 29, 1962. 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. Lightly soiled on cover, else fine
condition.
