People forget that Nixon was also a Lt. Commander in WWII, and was only 4 years older than the eternally “youthful”/”youngest”/etc JFK.
I grew up in Connecticut in the 1970’s and people then talked with JFK with adoration. Of course this was before we knew the true story of what a slimeball he really was. Richard Nixon deserves a better treatment from history. I think after this administration is finished and the histories of it are written I think Nixon will be seen in a much more positive light than he is today.
