The author remembers being awakened in the early morning of April 23, 1974 by a call from BBC radio that U.S. President Richard Nixon has resigned from office. The host of the program reported that his political advisers Edward Heath and Henry Kissinger referred to the thirty-seventh president as a towering figure. U.S. Presidents, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were more alike if one takes a takes the longest view and regards the national history of their days as simply a classic laboratory example of entropy doing its merry chilling.
