Remember Watergate with this Commemorative Photo
Whether you lived through the Watergate scandal, read about it in the
history books at school or watched "All the President's Men" two dozen
times, Watergate was a significant event in the course of American
history for any number of reasons. For the first time, the press was in
a position to hold the office of the president accountable for immoral
and illegal actions by uncovering them to the general public. Since that
time, many journalists have dreamt of becoming the next Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein by revealing a scandal of these proportions.
In 2005, the Watergate news was revived when W. Mark Felt stepped
forward and revealed himself as Deep Throat, the secret informer that
had led Woodward and Bernstein on the path of the news story of the
decade. Woodward immediately went to work to release his previously
written book, "The Secret Man" that explained the relationship between
him and Felt and why Felt came to him with such important information.
People could relive Watergate all over again, by reading this book for
the first time and rereading "All the President's Men" with the new
information that was now public knowledge.
Do you know someone who was delighted to discover the true identity of
Deep Throat after all this time? Is there a history buff in your family
that has a particular fascination with the Nixon legacy that ended on a
scandalous note with the Watergate hearings, threats of impeachment and
eventual resignation of the president? If so, then this commemorative
photo is the perfect gift. You will receive a photo of President Nixon,
an autograph and a facsimile of his resignation letter. The entire
display will be mounted and framed to make an attractive piece for any
collector's wall.
The letter is dated August 9, 1974, and is short and two the point.
Nixon offers his resignation to the current Secretary of State, Dr.
Henry Kissinger. This is the same cabinet member who was such a great
help to Nixon in difficult foreign policy decisions like those regarding
the Vietnam War, one of the characteristics of this presidency that
Nixon was remembered for positively. This is the perfect addition to any
history buff's collection and will make an attractive display for an
office or library. For the person who loves to study and has a
fascination with the Nixon years, this framed photo and letter is a
must-have. Give the gift of history with this autographed photo.
