  • 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.

    Copyright by Benjamin Jonah Koch 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Jonah Koch Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Watchmen in the Night: The House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry of Richard Nixon Committee: David Oshinsky, Supervisor H.W. Brands Dagmar Hamilton Mark Lawrence Michael Stoff Watchmen in the Night: The House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry of Richard Nixon by Benjamin Jonah Koch, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Dedication To my grandparents For their love and support Acknowledgements I owe an immense debt of gratitude to my dissertation supervisor, David Oshinsky. When I arrived in graduate school, I did not know what it meant to be a historian and a writer. Working with him, especially in the development of this manuscript, I have come to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and he has made me a better historian. Thank you. The members of my dissertation committee have each aided me in different ways. Michael Stoff’s introductory historiography seminar helped me realize exactly what I had gotten myself into my first year of graduate school—and made it painless. I always enjoyed Mark Lawrence’s classes and his teaching style, and he was extraordinarily supportive during the writing of my master’s thesis, as well as my qualifying exams. I workshopped the first two chapters of my dissertation in Bill Brands’s writing seminar, where I learned precisely what to do and not to do.

    Barbara Corcoran: A Shark’s guide to bouncing back December 09, 2020 TRANSCRIPT SPEAKERS: Roger Hobby Barbara Corcoran Roger Hobby: Barbara, welcome. Barbara Corcoran: Thank you. ROGER: Welcome to everybody to the first ever Fidelity Rewards Event, and we’re very very fortunate to have Barbara Corcoran from The Corcoran Group here with us. I’ve had all sorts of wonderful people tell me that they’re super-excited about this opportunity to get to know you and to hear your story about resiliency. I should note, 2020 is kind of the poster child for resiliency, and we’re very fortunate to hear your perspective on it. But let’s kind of jump right into it, and talk a little bit about, you know, what has it meant. You’re the founder of The Corcoran Group, you’re on the Shark Tank. What has this been like for you, with COVID, and with this virus, and with working remotely? How has that gone for you? Tell us a little about your situation. BARBARA: I’d be happy to, and thanks for having me Roger, I enjoy being here. Number one, it changed everything. It changed my business, and the different pursuits that I have within the business context. It changed my personal life tremendously, and I’m sure I’m not alone on that. I think everybody would report the same. But to give you an example of how it affected us, and how quickly it affected me, was when March hit, New York City was hit very hard. We were the earliest city hit.
