THIS DAY IN HISTORY


In 1974, Richard Nixon resigned as President
of these United States. And I remember being thrilled
by it, because we all knew he was no good, and it was
nice to be proven right. While at UConn I worked as
a volunteer for Gene McCarthy, even though I wasn't
a citizen at the time. What a heartbreak when he was
crushed in the election.

But we were right after all, and when Tricky Dick
resigned, we thought it would make all the difference
in the world.

Unfortunately, it didn't...
