***Nixon to resign, on Aug. 8, 1974***
And on this same date, the STAR tabloid carried a headline in super BIG letters, “JEAN DIXON SAYS NIXON WILL NOT RESIGN!”
Ten years later, Jean Dixon’s publicity dept was claiming she had predicted his resignation. I remember another case in the PARADE newspaper magazine in which she said he would NOT resign.
“I wonder what would have happened if Watergate never happened and Nixon completed both 2 terms? No Carter or Reagan or Bush Sr?”
I don’t know but it would make a great alternative history novel
Nixon was a little to liberal for my tastes but he wasn’t really a bad president and shouldn’t have stepped down.
Typical gutless Republicans.
Watergate was just a convenient excuse. They really wanted to get Nixon for his involvement with HUAC. They thought they got rid of him in 1960.
Very few know Nixon saved Israel from destruction.
He re-supplied them after the ‘73 war and the Muz retaliated with the Oil Crisis.
Watergate was another retaliation.
I am not a crook!
How about if Nixon had shaved on the afternoon of September 26, 1960? There would have been no Bay of Pigs, Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis or Vietnam War. On the other hand, there probably would not have been a Reagan Revolution.
I was going to say that’s when the tyranny started, but Lincoln takes the cake. Started the war of northern aggression when the south just wanted to be left alone.
Nixon was a smart guy but his demons got the better of him.
