| | American President |
| | Until the Watergate scandal led to his near impeachment by the House of Representatives and resignation in 1974, he was the dominant politician of the Cold War. | | | In a half-dozen years, he went from obscurity to a heartbeat from the presidency, winning a congressional race (1946), national prominence in the Alger Hiss spy case (1948), a Senate seat (1950), and the vice presidency (1952). | | | After losing a 1962 race for governor of California and holding his “last press conference,” Nixon patiently laid the groundwork for a comeback. |
