The Watergate gallery is, indeed, one-sided in that it unremittingly condemns President Nixon without putting the Watergate scandal into proper historical context. It is also garish, with bright red and orange colors and screaming, sensationalist headlines, and cacophonous, with voices jabbering away on various video screens--in total contrast with the other galleries, where one can quietly observe artifacts displayed in glass cases, as in traditional museums.

It was a sad day when the leaders of the private Nixon Foundation, which created the Nixon Presidential Library and ran it for 17 years without spending a nickel of taxpayers' money, chose to turn it over to the government.

I was a D.J. in a small Southern town when Nixon resigned. That night my show became a talk show. Callers were extremely angry that Nixon had been “run from office”. Most of the callers said “He didn’t anything they all don’t do.” The talk show ran for a few more months until I left the station. Always wish I’d have kept going.

And what are the chances of the Kennedy Library having “The President’s Bimbo Gallery”?
