I first came on the scene during the Johnson years and that crowd was out all the time enjoying themselves. Nixon wasn't particularly social but a lot of the people in his administration were.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I liked Nixon fine, but Nixon was not a partier.
I'd have to say that Nixon feels like the public figure who most dominated my life - from the time I went to fourth grade wearing a Nixon-Lodge button in the fall of 1960, through my college years, which overlapped with Kent State, Cambodia, the China trip and all the rest.
While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.
Kennedy was a lot of fun, always. He had something going on. But not Nixon.
The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President.
Richard Nixon was a very complex man. I don't think he was a conservative, nor liberal, not even a moderate. He was a pragmatic politician. He loved politics.
Nixon probably was a nice guy.
Nixon was kind of a loner, he had a cold personality.
Of course a lot of the journalists hated Nixon, but they were always blown away by how smart he was.
I have tender feelings for Nixon because everybody has warm feelings about their childhood. Actually, I didn't like the Watergate trials 'cause they interrupted 'The Munsters.'
