All about Richard Nixon...

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913–April 22, 1994) was the thirty-seventh President of the United States (1969–1974) and the only American president to resign the office. After obtaining a degree at Duke University Law School, Nixon returned to Whittier where he joined the law firm of Krupp & Bewley. In 1937 he moved to Washington where he served in the Office of Price Administration. Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California and developed an interest in music.

During World War II, Nixon served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific. In 1950, he won a Senate seat. Two years later, General Eisenhower selected Nixon, age 39, to be his running mate. His accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. In his last years, Nixon gained praise as an elder statesman. By the time of his death on April 22, 1994, he had written numerous books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy. From all the information i have read on Richard Nixon, I personally find him a good president. He tried his best on making the country a safe place to live. He did have some cons as well during his presidency time. Overall, he was one of the best presidents to have in the United States of America.
