Forty years ago, Richard M. Nixon became the first U.S. president to resign from office. He stepped down on Aug. 9, 1974, following the exposure of White House involvement in the cover-up of the Watergate scandal.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the resignation, author and journalist Carl Bernstein and authors Douglas Brinkley and Luke Nichter look back at the historic event and discuss the Nixon presidency.
Brinkley and Nichter are co-authors of the new book, "The Nixon Tapes," which features selected transcripts from Nixon's Oval Office conversations on subjects ranging from Vietnam to the 1972 re-election campaign.
With less than 5 percent of the 3,700 hours of Nixon White House recordings transcribed and published, the new book provides an unprecedented account of one of the most important and controversial presidencies in U.S. history.
Bernstein shared a Pulitzer Prize with Bob Woodward for his coverage of Watergate for The Washington Post. He is the author, with Woodward, of All the President's Men and The Final Days.
The program will be moderated by veteran journalist Marvin Kalb, who covered the Nixon administration and is currently the Edward R. Murrow Professor of Practice (Emeritus) at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and founding director of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.
Introductions were also provided by Shelby Coffey of the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
