A COMPLICATED FELLOW:

the US Republican who ended the Vietnam War. A conservative, Richard Nixon occasionally supported Martin Luther King and was active in the civil rights movement before running for President. Here he makes his final ‘goodbye’ from the steps of Marine One after resigning in 1974 because of the Watergate scandal. Years later he reflected on that morning: “I looked at my watch, the battery had run out, worn out, at 4 o’clock the last day I was in office. By that day, I was worn out, too.” His fellow citizens felt the same.
