I also remember watching Nixon resign. Seeing him break down on national TV broke my young heart. I didn't really understand why he had to be so humiliated. Politics was beyond me at that age. I wrote a letter to him then. He may have been a dishonest, paranoid SOB, but he actually wrote me back and signed the letter. Knowing now what I did not then, I still can't bring myself to fully dislike the man. He at least had enough honor step down. And with all the stress and other more pressing things he had to deal with then, he took the time to answer my letter, and sign it himself.
