Abstract
- One of the most heavily represented authors in Nixon's personal library is Churchill, whom Nixon revered not only as a statesman but also as a historian and an essayist. A re-creation of Nixon's favorite room in the White House was one of the Nixon museum's prime exhibits when it opened, in 1990, a few years before Nixon's death. Kissinger, the last surviving member of Nixon's Cabinet, was in Yorba Linda last fall for two reasons: to speak at a fundraising gala for the Richard Nixon Foundation and to promote a book he had published earlier in the year, at the improbable age of 99. Nixon, who had never shied away from calling himself a politician, wanted to see himself in Disraeli, or at least in Blake's Disraeli - this "classic biography", to which, he told his Cabinet, he often turned for inspiration on sleepless nights.
