  • The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon
    T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F... The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon What events influenced Richard Nixon’s rise to and fall from power? Introduction This photograph was taken of vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon relaxing with his pet dog, Checkers, in 1952. In his famous “Checkers” speech, Nixon refuted accusations that he had misused campaign contributions. He emphasized his family’s modest means, claiming that his wife, Pat, wore not a mink coat but “a respectable Republican cloth coat.” On September 23, 1952, California senator Richard Nixon reserved a spot on television to deliver the most important speech of his career. With this address, Nixon hoped to squash rumors that he had accepted $18,000 in illegal political contributions to finance personal expenses. The Republicans had recently nominated Nixon to run for vice president on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s ticket. When these charges against Nixon became public, Eisenhower was noncommittal — he did not drop Nixon from the ticket, but he also did not defend him. In his speech, Nixon said, “Not one cent of the $18,000 or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the © 2020 Teachers' Curriculum Institute Level: A T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F... United States.” But, he did confess to accepting one personal gift: A man down in Texas heard [my wife] Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog.

Memories of the Ellsberg Break-In transcribedremarks of THE HONORABLE STEPHEN TROTr* Introduction by Fred Altshuler, Esq.: As a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County, Stephen Trott prosecuted presidential assistant John Ehrlichman and G. Gordon Liddy for the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. I would now like to ask Judge Trott to give some of his views of the type of White House conduct that occurred during the Watergate era. Judge Troll: I had a fascinating window into this whole business. I was a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County in charge of the organized crime division. I spent my time on cases involving CIA- trained Cuban bombers, militants shooting up UCLA, drugs, a rattlesnake being placed in the mailbox of a lawyer who was suing an operation called Synanon, and various pornography cases involving X-rated films like "Deep Throat" and "The Devil and Miss Jones." One odd day, my boss, Los Angeles County District Attorney Joe Busch, called me in and said: "Get your butt over to federal court, someone named Howard Hunt is about to blow the whistle on a burglary in Beverly Hills." Now, what was going on? In June of 1972, the Watergate break-in took the lid off this whole thing.

  • The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon
    The Rise and fall of Richard Nixon Section 1: Introduction: On September 23, 1952, California senator Richard Nixon reserved time on national television to make the most important speech of his career. He hoped to silence claims that he had accepted $18,000 in illegal political contributions to help cover personal expenses. The Republicans had recently nominated Nixon to run for vice president, alongside Dwight D. Eisenhower. When the charges became public, Eisenhower remained noncommittal. He did not drop Nixon from the ticket, but he also did not come to the defense of his running mate. In his speech, Nixon told Americans, “Not one cent of the $18,000 or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the United States.” He did, however, confess to having accepted one personal gift from a contributor: A man down in Texas heard [my wife] Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip, we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was. It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate he’d sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl—Tricia, the 6-year-old—named it Checkers.
