Making Friends Wherever We Go 
Student Day in Iran, a chance for leftists to recall their people who died protesting Richard Nixon’s visit after the CIA installed the Shah in power, and a chance for the current regime to try and take credit for opposition to the Shah they took no part in.
“Prior to the Islamic Revolution these memorials always met with police interference. Since then, the government supported these annual events as an expression of the ‘nation’s strong disapproval of the US policy.”
Courting and Counting 
Hanukkah! Festival of Lights! A special time for goy politicians of all persuasions to pause and suck up to the Great Jewish People.
Until recently, Richard Nixon had even been doing it from beyond. Each year the Nixon Library would mark Hanukkah, albeit often folded into it’s “Christmas Around the World” program. [Hanukkah, of course, is how Jews celebrate the birth of Our Lord.]
Not so this year. Did the cumulative evidence of Nixon’s Antisemitism do them in?
2007 provided the climax to date, with the release of Fred Malek‘s memos about counting “the other demographic criteria” [i.e., Jews] at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In 2005 it was all so different:
Hanukkah Celebration
Join family and friends at the Nixon Library on Sunday, December 11 for a special Hanukkah celebration. This free-admission event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features remarks from U.S. Congressman Gary Miller, the Lighting of the Menorah by Rabbi David Eliezrie and traditional music performed by the Temple Beth Tikvah junior choir, the Tarbut V’Torah choir, the Heritage Oak Singers, and Celebration USA.
The York Pennsylvania National Watch & Clock Museum is thinking big, readying an exhibit of presidential time pieces.
The topic has exploded in recent years, from interest in Bill Clinton’s 
Ironman, to George Bush’s watch theft 
[or not] 
in Albania, to…well that about does it.
The Museum starts off with four items: a pocket-watch and clock from James Monroe, a Gerald Ford clock, and for the young people, Julie Nixon Eisenhower’s wristwatch.
How to fill the gaps? Relying on the people!
” the museum is looking for people in the region who might have presidential clocks and watches that they’d loan to the cause.”
Who’ll Watch the Watches? 
In the {Philadelphia Inquirer, Jack Ayer reviews Conrad Black’s Nixon opus, and pulls a fine Black apologia for Nixon:
“The aggregate is what must rank as one of the oddest summaries for any career: “not a uniquely sleazy president, but was treated as one.””
Haunting parallel alert: Black faces sentencing Friday.
