Resignation. This is about an hour. A testimony to the job they do and the reverence for books books that we all share. Richard nixon is a hard man to let go of. By first i remember as a child in black and white fuzzy television seeing this odd man, he was on a good ticket with general eisenhower and there was some problem taking money from a secret fund. And i thought this is interesting. He never stopped being interesting. Richard nixon was never boring. David mentioned he was probably as interesting in his after presidency as he was during his presidency. I chronicle in the book beginning with spiro agnew. Remember spiro agnew being in some trouble and i said to my editor at the new yorker, thought lamented and just the legendary William Shawn saying what are you thinking of writing next . I dont know. I have a feeling we are going to change Vice President s and president s within a year. This is labor day of 73. A way out there kind of wild thought at the time. We agreed i would wr
They were lovely. It is lovely to be back here. First time since my last book as david got across the carla and barbara who are always very welcoming to me. I have to tell you publishers and authors crawl and scratch to speak at this place. But they always say you are on to me and it is lovely. Brad and melissa have carried on the tradition that carl began with the energy and all of you coming tonight is a testimony to the job they do and the reverence for books that we all share. Richard nixon is a hard man to let go of. I remember as a child in black and white fuzzy television seeing this odd man on the ticket for Vice President and there was a problem of him taking money from a secret fund. He was talking about his daughters dog and i thought he is interesting. He never stopped being interesting. Richard nixon was never boring.

The one that ended his presidency when it did surface because they did do a cover up. How to that 18. 5 minute gap happened. It is pretty clear from the expert panel that there was an intentional situation. And i decided to put an appendix who had access, the fact that there were five to nine who intentionally erase the content. It occurs on a tape on june 20, 1972 which is his first day back in the office. It is his first conversation after the arrest. And i think it is very flexible. Its something because of the timing of when this comes up that again shows his defense that he knew nothing about until march 21 is alive. But it is ironic that more conversations that same week occurred, this happened to be one and he had to flush it out and that is when they decided to erase it. I also included everyone who had access to that tape at that time and it runs with some people that are wellknown, some that are still alive. When was the taping system and play in the white house .

Leading up to and after his departure from office on august 9, 1974. He recalls working with nixon on his memoirs. This runs about one hour and 20 minutes. Let me not hold up this great program. Director of the linden pain Johnson Lyndon library, and we who was a gannon white house staffer during the nixon administered. Lets not hold them up. [applause] welcome, everybody. Tonight, we are going to see eene very littles interviews with Richard Nixon conducted by frank gannon. What strikes me about these clips is a Richard Nixon i have never seen before. Talk about nixon some of the things that you will see in these clips, but i have never seen Richard Nixon as relaxed as i have seen him on this. Was often very when it came to the press, as was seen in his interview with frost which was later shown in the play and the movie frost nixon. Is very relaxed and provides insight that is a testament to the relationship. Hat he had with nixon i want to start off by asking you a little bit about
