The Richard Nixon Library
Nixon Library
Fourteen years. That’s how long the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Ca., has been open. There is a lot to see, although the Presidential papers of Richard Nixon are still in the custody of the National Archives. Last year, I spent a lot of time in Kansas City, Mo., on a contract, and I visited the Truman Library in Independence. It is very nice, and could probably fit in a corner of Nixon’s.

Brenda, yes, I remember your telling me. I found out that he graduated third in his class in 1937, and he attended on a scholarship.

"TEEN ANGEL. "He made it so 18-year-olds could vote," a young lady named Michelle Witt said. Fair enough, I figured: Nixon did drop the voting age. Lindsay Conley, a perky lass, went straight to the scandal that ended the Nixon Presidency--but with an unexpected twist.
"When I first heard about Watergate, I said 'What a bad guy,'" Lindsay told me with deadpan seriousness. "But when I realized he had to deal with Vietnam and the prisoners of war, I thought it was amazing he didn't go insane." Pretty loose connection there, I thought, though Lindsay was positively Cartesian in her logic compared with Elizabeth DeRose, who had become an unqualified Nixon fan. "I would have liked to have met him," she said. "He seemed cool. He had a dog.""

Meghan, the two concepts - the Prom at Yorba Linda, and Pizza cum sushi, are ... not appetizing to me! Your blog, however, is wonderful; and I have linked to it - Meghan's Deep Thoughts, everyone - from Hasty Ruminations.

Meredith, your doggies are great - I was headed out to get a Golden Retriever three years when I happened on Lacy, a six month old yellow lab, and fell in love. Lacy wants to meet your cat... really, she'll be nice. Welcome back, and I'll leave more specific notes on yours!

P.S. As to singing... I told a good friend with small kids yesterday to reduce the chances for the flu by getting them to wash their poisonous little hands with soap and really warm water ten times a day, while singing or reciting the first stanza of "America the Beautiful". I suppose I'll never hear from them again.
