1991ref. 130791991. Nixon Richard M. typed letter signed 1991 is a post-presidential document connecting Nixon's public intellectual life after the White House to the Alger Hiss case the Cold War controversy that helped establish his national political identity. Written to Honorable William Hyland the letter shows Nixon still using private correspondence to frame institutional memory political reputation and anti-Communist history decades after his congressional investigation of Hiss. The material documents post-presidential political communication through personal letterhead and private commentary revealing how Nixon continued to interpret Cold War controversies for trusted associates and providing primary-source evidence for the study of American anti-Communism political reputation and the long public afterlife of the Hiss case. Nixon Richard M. Typed letter signed to Honorable William Hyland. New Jersey: personal letterhead April 12 1991. One page. Quarto. The letter concerns an off-the-record Carnegie Endowment forum in Washington with Nixon sending Hyland a list of attendees and joking about entering "the lion's den." Nixon writes "I guess they thought that by having me they would balance the fact that Alger Hiss was once their President!" a pointed reference to Hiss's former leadership of the Carnegie Endowment and to Nixon's own role in pressing the congressional investigation that led to Hiss's perjury conviction. The letter is signed "Sincerely" and preserves Nixon's characteristic mixture of political irony institutional grievance and historical self-positioning. The timing gives the letter particular interpretive value: in 1991 Nixon was active as an elder statesman on foreign policy while the Cold War world that had shaped his early career was rapidly ending. His reference to Hiss ties a contemporary Washington policy forum to the anti-Communist investigations of the late 1940s and to the contested public memories of Nixon Hiss and loyalty politics after Watergate. Blue marker "File" notation at upper right; otherwise clean and well preserved near fine. A sharply worded Nixon letter explicitly naming Alger Hiss and linking a late-career public appearance to one of the formative conflicts of twentieth-century American political history. unknown

1978ref. 52472New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1978. Presumed First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xii 11204 pages. Illus. index DJ in plastic sleeve. Signed by the author. Richard Milhous Nixon January 9 1913 - April 22 1994 was the 37th president of the United States serving from 1969 until 1974. A member of the Republican Party Nixon previously served as the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 having risen to national prominence as a representative and senator from California. After five years in the White House that saw the conclusion to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War détente with the Soviet Union and China and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency he became the only president to resign from the office following the Watergate scandal. He graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife Pat moved to Washington in 1942 to work for the federal government. He served on active duty in the Navy Reserve during World War II. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist which elevated him to national prominence. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower subsequently serving for eight years as the vice president. In 1968 he ran for the presidency and was elected defeating Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace in a close election. Nixon ended American involvement in Vietnam in 1973 ending the military draft that same year. Nixon's visit to China in 1972 eventually led to diplomatic relations and he gained the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. Derived from a Kirkus review: "I intended to play the role of the President right to the hilt and right to the end." Thus RN whose words read less like memos here than they did in the newspaper excerpts and more like the last will and testament of a fighter who never willingly gave ground. Had he been urged to resign he avers he would have rebelled; and his review of the two occasions - the "secret fund" crisis the second v.p. nomination - when he felt himself crowded and didn't cave in back up his claim. "And tell them I know something about politics too!" he quotes himself as shouting over the phone in the first instance to a wheedling dissembling Tom Dewey. He was a mere freshman senator then built up by the Hiss case but always had ideas of his own. Not public affairs: He had nothing against communism he says until Churchill's Iron Curtain speech. So it's when he's talking politics that his celebrated caginess becomes an asset and his acumen is in evidence; and only then too is he interesting about people. Poor Rose Mary Woods for instance turns up unheralded whereas Bob Haldeman scores for spotting the potential of campaigning-by-TV not whistle-stop train. By the same token while the extensive travels are dull the final days are distinctly not: Intent on being a leader from the time when four years out of law school he was president of every organization in sight he is fully aware of what's slipping away. He records the silence - instead of the usual applause - that greeted his entrance to the last Cabinet meeting the "sober noncommittal" faces as he thanks his aides for their support; and like a prospective suicide he imagines the effect his farewell cables will have on Chou and Chairman Mao "in Cairo and Tel Aviv in Damascus and Amman" - where "eight weeks ago I had been accorded unprecedented acclaim." How the mightiest fell: the pages carry weight. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover

1901ref. 140946256Kansas City MO: Hudson-Kimberly Publishing Company 1901. First edition. First edition first printing. 500pp. Bound in publisher's dark blue buckram with gilt spine lettering floral endpapers. Very Good well-worn along edges gift inscription to rear endpaper and a few previous owner stamps to endpapers limited underlining to text and few marginal notes. The best known work by an American Spiritualist featuring conversations with a medium William W. Aber. According to Nixon's obituary in the 1915 Spring Hill Kansas New Era he was born in 1831 and raised a Quaker; he was a "police judge" and city attorney in Spring Hill for many years. That town was the center of what was known as the Aber Intellectual Circle. This book features Aber's conversations with spirits some of whom were famous historical figures. According to the Topeka Library's account of Aber's exploits "In the early 1900s Aber's fraudulent seances were exposed several times in the Kansas City area. In one instance he was exposed by two men who were worried about a woman who had been seeing Aber to contact her deceased husband. The two men grabbed Aber who was dressed as a spirit. Aber managed to escape and locked himself in the bathroom until authorities arrived. He tried his luck again on the West coast. Authorities arrested Aber in Seattle in 1920 while once again dressed as a ghostly apparition. He was told to leave town. Newspapers across the nation carried the humorous headline 'Ghost Fined and Must Walk Earth Elsewhere.'". Hudson-Kimberly Publishing Company unknown
