August 9 . 1 9 7 4 - A p r il 2 2 , 1 9 9 4
The above dates, the day Nixon resigned the
presidency and the day of his death
M r Nixon has come to symbolize the e vils of
politics
Not Just Watergate, but the secret bombing
of Cambodia, the bletan, selling of Ambassadorships
for pol it »cal contributions, the arrogance of the
enemies lists
We have m the past said that we won t
believe he is reel ly dead u n til someone drives a stake
into his heart This was a statement born of the fear
of whet he was capable o f, his powers of
regeneration
But we must remember th a t. as thwy
soy. "Under the Clinton Health Plan we are a ll going
to die1" And perhaps we would like to be remembered
for something other than our mistakes and
shortcomings "T ricky D ic k ie ' brought atxxil the end
of the Viet Nam W a r . the only President who wasn t
afraid to give up in a n o -w in situation
politics in Amer tea, on tape, thus bringing about a
cell for higher standards for our laodwship He w ill
be remembered in different ways by different people
Dr Karkeys suggests the old film s of the McCarthy
e ra. where young Nixon can be seen plotting strategy
w ith young Roy Cohen
We p refer the "Checkers
Speech' or maybe Ihol famous last wave from the
door of the helicopter as he left the W hite House for
the last tim e We w ill always remem ber that
Richard Nixon was the man who sa’d, ‘ I am not e
crook'■ and. "I am not a q u itte r '’ .and was lyinQboth
times
But, we are losing one of the tou^iest
politicians in our h isto ry, a w orthy adversary no
longer in the fight
if you could go up against Nixon
and survive you w ere lough
Bush, C a rte r, Reogon,
no p ro b lem , but Nixon separated the men from the
wimps
Some loved h im , many hated him
M o rris
And understood that history judges a
man's accomplishments, not his personality
We wonder if they w ilt respect his wishes that
'C a lifo rn ia Here I dome" be played reel slow at his
funeral
We heard these comments
in State in the Rotunda
them to 'b e e f o f f ’, which they eventually do.

He already lied in the
