The Ex-presidents of the United States of America - Richard Nixon
Richard Nixon was born on 9 January 1913 in Yorba Linda, Orange County, California. He won scholarships to both Harvard and Yale but due to lack of finances he was forced to decline them. He instead enrolled in a local Quaker college, Whittier College where he was a model student. In 1934 he graduated second in his class and entered Duke University School of Law, North Carolina. He returned to California in 1937 and was admitted to the Bar, working for the law offices of Wingert and Bewley, he became a full partner in the firm in 1938. He was commissioned in the United States Navy in August 1942, he was assigned as the naval passenger control officer for the South Pacific Combat Air Transport Command. He received two service stars, although he did not see any combat action; he made lieutenant commander in October 1945 and resigned his commission on 1 January 1946. He ran for and was elected to the Unites States House of Representatives in the November 1946 elections. He first came to national recognition when his investigation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) broke the impasse in the Alger Hiss case. Nixon became polarised in the American consciousness, he was a hero to Roosevelt’s enemies but an enemy to Rossevelt’s supporters because Hiss had been an advisor to FDR. In the 1950 elections, Nixon was elected to the Senate defeating the Democratic representative in a historic landslide. Due to his strong anti-communist stance, Eisenhower selected him to be the Vice-Presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention in July 1952.
During the campaign he was accused by the New York Post of accepting private donations, a claim that he strenuously denied. The Republicans won the ticket, Nixon broadened the scope of the post. In 1960, he launched his campaign for President of the United States of America. His Democratic challenger was John F. Kennedy. The race was close, becoming defined by the first televised presidential debates, Nixon was recovering from illness and appeared uncomfortable in comparison to the composed JFK, however many people listening on radio considered Nixon to be the winner. Kennedy amid accusations of electoral fraud, won with the most meagre of margins. Nixon returned to California, practiced law and wrote the best selling political memoir Six Crises. He ran for Governor of California in 1962, losing to Pat Brown and leading to many to write off his political career. However, he re -entered the arena, throwing his hat into the ring for the 1968 Presidential campaign. He modelled himself as a figure of stability, appealing to socially conservative Americans, pitting himself against the hippie counterculture, he won the nomination. He then attacked the Democrats on charges of allowing the United States to lose their nuclear superiority, he also promised that he would end the Vietnam War. He won, completing a memorable comeback from the political wilderness. He set out to develop relations with China, pursue arms control agreements with the Soviet Union, activate a peace process in the Middle East, ensure that US inflation was curbed and implement welfare reform. However, his most pressing task was to tackle the Vietnam War.
He approved a secret bombing campaign of Cambodia with the intention of destroying the headquarters of the National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam. He followed this with implementing the Nixon doctrine, which was a strategy of replacing American troops with Vietnamese troops in Vietnam. His further bombing campaigns in Laos and Cambodia led to widespread protests at home. He was re-elected President in the 1972 campaign in one of the biggest landslides in American political history. Nixon had an aggressive foreign policy that included successes with the Soviet Union, China and the Middle East but he was dogged by a weak national economy and domestic protests over the continued war in Vietnam. After his 1972 re-election, his administration was consumed by the Watergate scandal, named after the hotel and office complex where burglars hired by Nixon’s re-election campaign were caught in a sloppy attempt to bug the offices of the Democratic National Convention. Nixon played down the scandal as mere politics and his administration denounced the story as misleading, however the FBI confirmed the allegations, senior aides began resigning and many faced prosecution. Losing political support by the day and facing almost certain impeachment, Nixon resigned his post on August 9, 1974; however, he never admitted to criminal wrongdoing, only conceding he made errors of judgment. On 8 September, 1974 President Ford granted an absolute pardon to Nixon, ending any possibility of indictment. Nixon moved back to California to write his memoirs and was variously consulted on a private basis by his successors but his standing as a disgraced President continued to dog him.
In 1977, he began to embark on a public relations comeback effort, meeting with British journalist David Frost who paid him six hundred thousand dollars for a series of sit-down interviews. The first of his ten books that he authored in his retirement was published at this time, enabling Nixon to emerge from his seclusion to embark on book tours. He later embarked on tours to Egypt, Soviet Union, Japan and China. He gained respect as an elder statesman in the arena of foreign affairs and was consulted by both Democratic and Republican successors to the Presidency. No American President served as long in national office as Nixon did, he appeared on the Republican party’s Presidential ticket five times, secured the Republican nomination three times and was elected twice to the office of President and Vice-President. Along with Ronald Reagan, he was the chief builder of the modern Republican party. He was instrumental in expelling the Soviet Union from the Middle East, he initiated formal relations with China and improved relations with the Soviet Union. Domestically he decentralised government by revenue sharing, ended school segregation, ended the gold standard, reduced the crime rate and pioneered environmental policies. However, his policies in Vietnam remain contentious; his principal electoral mandate had been to end the war. He did authorise the gradual withdrawal of the 500,000 American troops from South Vietnam but the war continued to drag on. Some assert that Nixon sold out the South Vietnamese government, others argue that his he needlessly prolonged the war by negotiating conditions that were advantageous to United States objectives that never has any possibility of being achieved.

Enemy of the State $8.06 The action producing-directing team of Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott is back with another thrill-a-minute ride called Enemy of the State. Taking its "innocent man accidentally caught up in political corruption" story from such films as Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation, Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Sydney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor, they turn up the high-tech volume in an attempt to create the ultimate action film. Robert Clayton Dean, played by Will Smith, is a devoted father, husband, and attorney shopping for a sexy gift for his wife. What he doesn't know is that he was given a videotape from a friend (Jason Lee) regarding the recent murder of a U.S. senator led by corrupt National Security Agency official Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight). Now Reynolds is after Dean to cover his tracks or, as the audience soon finds out, frame Dean for Rachel's murder. Since Dean isn't up on his high-tech gadgetry, he needs the aid of ex-intelligence operative Brill (Gene Hackman). Between the explosions and chases is the subtext of George Orwell's 1984 mantra "beware of big brother," as Dean realizes that in the modern world, there is no such thing as total privacy. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi |

Ag. Goodluck Jonathan Intervains In Ezillo Crises To Safe Life In Ebonyi State
MORE THAN JOS CRISES IN NIGERIA: EZILLO/EZZA WAR.
The recent renewed crises in Ezillo which was an escalate of the war that erupted from the area since May 10th 2008 is connected to the plot by the Ezzas to usurp Gov. Matins Elechi's Administration and to invade that minority community called Ezillo over a small piece of land belonging to Ezillo community.
A fresh war ensued yesterday 10th February,2010 with a shocking news that the Ezzas and their mercenary destroyed the lives and properties of Ezillo people including Ezillo regional water scheme which supplies water to the whole state with their imported high graded guns and explosives. The worst of the matter is their incessant blocking of the Enugu-Abakaliki federal high way killing innocent commuters. On the third night of their nefarious act, they blocked the highway killing seven people in tow different buses with inscriptions Abia line and cross line. The Ishielu police divisional officer confirmed the incident stressing that the miscreants also shot series of bullets at the Police station. The most shocking of the whole issue is that the military who were sent to safeguard the lives and properties of Ezillo took on their heel during the confrontation. This is so incredible to Nigerian security as the civilians have taken arms more powerful than the armies and also a porous and shameful nation where arms and explosives can easily be proliferated and imported.
This scorching renewed crises was said to be ignited and sponsored by Julius Ali Ucha, Paulinus Igwenagu, Ugo Chima and other Ebonyi political men domiciled in Abuja who connived with their abroad counterpart soughting by all means to use Ezillo crises to cause commotion and insecurity in the state thereby moving motion in national assembly for state of emergency in Ebonyi state. This is the only thing Senator Ali ucha and other Ezza members in Abuja could use their constituency project fund to achieve in their constituency, which Ezillo belonged to. God forbid! How can such a nefarious person rule my state? A blood killer!
To lend credence to this report, according to the press release by the Ebonyi state government, through the commissioner of information and state orientation Comrade Egwu Chima just a day before the crises stated thus " THE EZILLO SECURITY IMBROGLIO AND THE POLITICAL ENEMIES UNENDING VERDICT"
According to the report which foresaw the plans of these political urban guerillas with their nefarious act warned all those who have allowed themselves to be used bas fools to execute this evil act to desist from such menace as all security steps have been taking to bring an a lasting solution to the mayhem in the state.
In his swift reactions, Gov. Matins Elechi said he would not rest on his oars watching miscreants taking peaceful atmosphere of the state just like that. He immediately sent three Police armored Tank with well equipped mobile Policemen to Ezillo to safe the lives and properties of innocent people and passerby in the area. It could be recalled that Gov. Matins Elechi's led administration has been a public accepted and also a peaceful one in the state.
It could also be recalled that Ezillo people has remained the most peaceful people since time immemorial not until the storming of Ezzas in the area many years ago.
It also a clarion call from men of goodwill and from different people of the nation warning the Ezzas to desist from causing problems in Ezillo and also a call to the peaceful government of Nigeria led by the Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to pay urgent attention to this call to save the lives of innocent Nigerians perishing in Ezillo.
