Pat Nixon: a Full Partner in the American Dream -1'1404 "Whether unable to, or simply unwilling, she avoided look- ing back, a characteristic that some saw as a defense mech- anism in insulating herself against the harsh realities of life." Pat Nixon: A Full Partner in the American Dream By Donnie Radcliffe F ALL RICHARD Nixon's advis- Oers, only one at the end had been there at the beginning, and not until she conceded it Was all over would he finally announce that it was. For Patricia Ryan Nixon, It was an agonizing concession contrary to ev- erything she once steadfastly believed to be true. Until the last desperate month of her husband's embattled presidency, she had been his eyes and ears on the outside world, however in- sulated and controlled that world was. "No," Pat Nixon had said in May, 1974, when asked if she would "let" her husband resign, "Why should he? There's no reason to." Some saw her, in that twilight of Richard Nixon's political career, deter- mined to ward off his destruction knowing it meant her own as well as his—and, in legacy, that of their daughters, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Tricia Nixon Cox. Others characterized her as too committed to the "total in- vestment" she had made in him over the years, commitments of grief and pain as well as happiness, ever to ad- mit that he was not what he seemed to be to her, or their daughters. She was sustained, she had said throughout that final spring as First Lady, by "the truth ...When you know the truth you have nothing to fear." And for her, as for her daughters, truth was "great faith" In Nixon, "an honorable, dedicated person." Publicly, she held to the "positive outlook" through her readings of a 'word, a look, a handshake—messages I of reassurance she could later relay to her husband. In the White House, a house tl-at she liked to remind her vis- itors belonged to "all the people," she prdsided over teas and luncheons and receptions, seeing old and new friends. And in the crush she listened for their vertions of "the truth" as evidence of unflagging support. 'You'd think that every day reading the paper, seeing some negative things and some positive things, but most of the- time negative, it would get you down," Julie Eisenhower said in de- seribina her mother's emotional state.

Others defined Pat Nixon's strength in terms of a strong will, a legendary self-discipline. a disinclination to re- lilt the past and a lifelong determina- tion to rise above adversities.

  • Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon
    Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon Nixon Library Announces Special Exhibit Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon YORBA LINDA, CALIFORNIA - The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will commemorate President Nixon’s 1994 State Services with a new display of artifacts and dramatic photographs that tell the story of the events that lead to the passing of the 37th President and the formal memorial that followed in his honor at his Library in Yorba Linda. The services brought U.S. Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and their First Ladies to Yorba Linda, as well as hundreds of foreign and U.S. congressional leaders, thousands of admirers and millions of television viewers who watched from around the globe. “May the day of judging President Nixon on anything less than his entire life and career come to a close,” President Clinton said in a moving eulogy. Senator Bob Dole declared “the second half of the 20th century will be known as the age of Nixon.” Dr. Henry Kissinger commended the President as a statesman. “In the conduct of foreign policy, Richard Nixon was one of the seminal presidents.” Following the President’s passing on April 22, 1994, the Nixon Library immediately became the place for the public to pay tribute and remember his nearly 50 years of public service. More than 50,000 mourners waited in line for many hours to see the flag-draped casket that laid in repose in the museum, surrounded by a Marine Corps Joint Services Honor Guard.

  • 6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING the PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action
    6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING THE PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action Trevor Griffey The conventional history of the rise of affirmative action in the late 1960s and early 1970s tends toward a too simple dialectic. The early creation and extension of affirmative action law is often described as an extension of the civil rights movement, whereas organized opposition to affirmative action is described as something that occurred later, as a backlash or reaction that did not fully take hold until Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980.1 In this chapter, I tell a different story. I describe the role that labor union resistance to affirmative action played in limiting the ability of the federal gov- ernment to enforce new civil rights laws well before the more overt backlash against affirmative action became ascendant in U.S. political culture in the 1980s and 1990s. There was no heyday for attempts by federal regulatory agencies to impose affirmative action on U.S. industry. There was no pristine origin against which a backlash could define itself, because enforcement of affirmative action had accommodated its opponents from the beginning. Affirmative action law emerged out of and in response to civil rights move- ment protests against the racism of federal construction contractors, whose discriminatory hiring policies were defended and often administered by the powerful building trades unions.2 But the resistance of those unions to the 1969 Revised Philadelphia Plan—the first government-imposed affirmative action plan—severely curtailed the ability of the federal government to enforce affirma- tive action in all industries.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.
