Richard Nixon: Laws
built 179 days ago
After 14 years in Washington, Nixon returned to his native California, became counsel of a large Los Angeles law firm, and wrote his political memoir, Six Crises (1962). His yearly income exceeded his total earnings for the previous 14 years, but wealth could not substitute for political power.

In 1937, Nixon returned to California, was admitted to the bar, and began working in the law office of a family friend in a nearby small town. The work was mostly routine, and Nixon generally found it to be dull. He later wrote that family law cases caused him particular discomfort, since his reticent Quaker upbringing was severely at odds with the idea of discussing intimate marital details with strangers.

Nixon: When you're in office, you have to do a lot of things that are not, in the strictest sense of the law, legal. But you do them because they're in the greater interests of the nation.
