nixon

So I was reading Uncle John's Unsinkable bathroom reader and there was a page on Nixon, so I thought I'd share some of the interesting ones:

-He is the only person in american history to be elected for 2 terms as vicepresident and 2 as president
-In the 1960 campain Kennedy (age 43) got a lot of attention because he was so young, Nixon was 47
-His secret service code name was searchlight
-He was elected vice president only 6 years after leaving the navy
-He was named after the english king Richard the Lionheart
-When he went for his annual presidental physical he would wear his hospital gown backwards then walk the hallways to startle the nurses.
-He appeared on the cover of time magazine a record 56 times.
