Richard M. Nixon
I don't know a lot about politics, but I know a lot about baseball.
Richard M. Nixon
What are our schools for if not indoctrination against Communism?
Richard M. Nixon
The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.
Richard M. Nixon
There will be no whitewash in the White House.
