Richard Nixon: Alger Hiss
built 635 days ago
Nixon is a shifty-eyed goddamn liar. He's one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.

Nixon's last and tenth book, Beyond Peace, finished shortly before his death... provides an insight into his makeup. It is in many ways a study in Nixonian fantasies. It begins with the words, "When I met with Mao Tse-tung for the last time in Beijing on February 27, 1976…." Name-dropping recurs throughout the book, almost on every page. One typical sentence reads:

On July 20, 1969, Nixon addressed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin live via radio during their historic Apollo 11 moonwalk. Nixon ... made humanity's longest distance phone call to Neil Armstrong on the moon. (All U.S. Project Apollo moon landings, and the attempted moon landing of Apollo 13, took place during Nixon's first term.) On January 5, 1972, Nixon approved the development of NASA's Space Shuttle program, a decision that profoundly influenced American efforts to explore and develop space for several decades thereafter.

Some Americans disliked Richard Nixon for the way he treated people during the investigation. They felt that some of his attacks were unjust. Fear of communism was very strong at that time. They thought he was using the situation to improve his political future. The future did, in fact, bring him success.

With their backing Nixon easily won the nomination on the first ballot at the convention held in Miami Beach, Florida, in August. For his running mate he chose Spiro T. Agnew, the governor of Maryland.

[O]n the morning after his defeat for governor, an angry Nixon lectured a televised press conference about the reportorial transgressions of journalists and broadcasters. In bitter conclusion he remarked, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference." He conceded that such a tongue-lashing could come only from one who harbored no further political ambitions, for to attack the press so savagely violated an unwritten rule of campaign folklore.
