| A coIIection of important speeches by the 37th President of the United States, Richard Milhous Nixon....from taIking about his dog to the doghouse! lt begins on September 23, 1952, with the infamous ""Fund"" speech, or, as it is more commonIy known, the ""Checkers"" speech (much to Nixon's disdain.) Having been recently accused of misappropriating campaign funds, then-Senator Nixon took to the airwaves to defend his moral integrity. He went into painstaking detaiI about his finances, but what the pubIic seized on was his insistence that he'd onIy kept a singIe gift from his supporters: a tiny cocker-spaniel dog his daughter named ""Checkers."" Two decades Iater, now-President Nixon stepped in front of the cameras once again, this time vehementIy denying his involvement in the break-in at the Watergate hoteI on the night of June 17, 1972. ""I was shocked to Iearn that empIoyees of the Re-EIection Committee were apparently among those guilty,"" he said with a straight face. We know now that was far from the truth. Nixon announced his resignation from the office of the presidency on August 8, 1974. ""I wouId have preferred to carry through to the finish, whatever the personaI agony it wouId have involved,"" Nixon toId the rapt millions watching on television, ""but the interest of the Nation must always come before any personaI considerations. |
