Richard Nixon and His 1975 Grand Jury Testimony

Thanks to a federal judge's ruling, President Richard Nixon's 1975 grand jury testimony has been released to the public. The comments so far are fascinating. In the excerpt noted in today's LA Times, Tricky Dick talks about the buying and selling of ambassadorships, the quality of State Department careerists, and Nixon's opinion of certain nations.

Who needs memoirs when Nixon's grand jury testimony is far more compelling reading?

Nixon Tapes, Documents Ready for Public Release

Former president Richard Nixon, who has the ghoulish habit of returning from the dead, has again returned among the living. This time, according to the Washington Post, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Archives will release recordings and documents long sealed and kept from the public. Among them is the transcript of Tricky Dick's grand jury testimony during the Watergate probe.

With Halloween only a couple of weeks away, Americans may feel inspired to get their Nixon masks out of the attic, knock on some doors, and do scary things to get a gift. Just like the 37th president of the United States did nearly forty years ago.
