Richard M. Nixon Video
|
Information for this person coming soon. |
- Nixon's words reflect the sharply divided nation that he inherits as president in 1969: "We find ourselves rich in goods, but ragged in spirit; reaching with magnificent precision for the moon, but falling into raucous discord on earth."
- In his second inaugural speech, Nixon, a conservative Republican, rails against big government and its "condescending policies of paternalism." He demands that government "learn to take less from people so that people can do more for themselves."
- Barbara Jordan has died at age 59, leaving behind a legacy of political activism and moving oratory.
