William Tyler
The Bad Boy: Nixon

Monday 11.03.2024

Summary

Richard Nixon was elected to the presidency twice, but the Watergate scandal cut short his second term, inevitably casting a shadow over his achievements. In his resignation speech, he said, “Sometimes I have succeeded and sometimes I have failed,” which is a pretty good summary of Nixon’s presidency.
