Nixon Resigning--One of the happiest days of my life

I was in High School when he dragged his sorry ass out of the White House. I remember that day more vividly than the Moon Landing. Forty years later we have Shrub, Cruz, the Teahaddists, and Cheney.

It was at a library media processing center for a large school district. I was a cataloger.

We brought a TV in, and watched everything. I am a Watergate junkie, to this day. I have read all the books. I watched the hearings on PBS in the evenings, when they were rebroadcast. I stayed up until all hours, but went to work energized by the unfolding story. It was like a Greek tragedy, hubris and all!
