President Nixon has been an honored guest of the Lakota Nation. They gifted him a headdress, which he wore in respect.
As a matter of law and principle, he reminds Americans that a Lakota - or any Indian - is a citizen of his Nation and outside certain crimes is subject to only his Nation's laws.

Many years ago in a private setting President Nixon used language suitable for that setting. This unfortunately came to light through circumstances beyond his control. He has apologized for using that language. To my knowledge he no longer uses it. He certainly does not use such language in public.

President Nixon was the first public figure to suggest that Sen. Rubio was different to how he was represented in the press. His analysis of Sen. Rubio has repeatedly been proven correct. Nevertheless he is still in some quarters called wrong or overzealous, or is accused of ulterior motives.
I don't understand what these posts are meant to represent, and it makes me feel stupid. ;_;

President Nixon speaks frankly. He chooses his words with care. If I were in a position to say he had misspoken or wished in any way to revise or extend his remarks, I would do so. He has not made me aware of that.
She propositioned us. I am not joking.
Respectfully, sir, it’s not worth your time to discuss her.

I cannot confirm a story told by Dr. Kissinger. I can only stay that like many of Dr. Kissinger's stories it happens to feature Dr. Kissinger in total control, even though Dr. Kissinger has never, to my knowledge, occupied a requisite position.
Nixon at least had the decency to have his breakdown in private and with Henry Kissinger.

President Nixon significantly expanded the federal food assistance program, making it truly nationwide by 1973 and increasing participation fivefold 1969-74. While he fell short of his pledge to end hunger in America, he maintains that hunger is a barrier to prosperity and peace.

If you say that President Nixon's poker winnings 1941-45 amount to nearly $200,000 today, then I believe you. It is not my concern. It is not President Nixon's concern as he continues to work towards a lasting architecture of peace. chicago.suntimes.com/illinois-gov...

Bari Weiss' biggest challenge at CBS News is the unprecedented dominance of David Muir at ABC, writes @michaelsocolow.bsky.social. And yes, as I tell my students, everything — everything — goes back to Richard Nixon. linttrapofhistory.substack.com/p/bari-weiss...
Bari Weiss's Greatest Challenge at CBS
It's not the Murrow-Cronkite Legacy. It's not the newsrooms & bureaus filled with journalists more experienced than her. It's not the scale of the operation. It's David Muir's incredible dominance.
