The Wikipedia is a good place to start as it often has very good links to other sites.  In addition, check out the Nixon Library site and the Nixon Presidential archives\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon\nhttp://nixon.archives.gov/index.php\nhttp://www.nixonfoundation.org/

The only thing they change is the party in power.  Sorry but I can't see 10 cents worth of difference if you look at the parties in power over the years. So scandals hurt the party not the presidency.  Nixon got full retirement pay and all the benefits that the good guys got.

The first and only president to resign from office was Richard M. Nixon who resigned on August 9, 1974 due to the Watergate scandal.

Cause:  Political greed and personal paranoia on behalf of President Nixon, (who has never been credited with ending the Vietnam war, and opening relations with china).\n\nEffect:  Overzealous prosecution for protecting his political friends for lying about a crime that was petty in nature.  It all ended when he was prosecuted by congress, and with dignity, resigned his elected office.

Depends on how you view worst. Nixon was corupt but did a lot good as well although its was his foreing policy that shined. His domestic agenda was lacking. Carter was benefactor of Nixon's crimes. Carter had no real skills to be President but American wanted an honest man in White House and that what we got. along with long lines at Gas pump and Americans held hostage for a year in Iran. So yes Carter would be on top of my list but I have to feel Bill Clinton was worse and I know many will disagree.

This will get you started. Google Tianamen square, or use wikipedia. Also(and I am NOT sure about this), the Berlin wall came down in that year.\n  Of less historical relevance,  I graduated high school.\n\nEDIT-I think the war on drugs was actually started by Nixon

Well never know.\n\nFrom what I read, people didn't believe Nixon could have known about that watergate thing.

Bohemian Grove, that is where the manhattan project planning meeting took place.  Apparently Richard Nixon didn't like the place, though he attend from time to time according to wikipedia. (read it, because I am afraid to post this controversial matter).  However, why do you want to know about Bohemian Grove?

I think what you are saying is essentially true. However there have been 6 presidents since Nixon that could have helped or fixed the problem and nothing got done. Nixons move to allow the dollar to float has caused many problems with the economy. I do not remember his reasoning behind it but it was another bad decision by an repuglican.

He beat out Nixon for top honors, that's for sure. Let's see if He'll try to become Dictator for life. He' already has a head start with being appointed president once, and stealing it another time.\nViva La Resistance!!!

Nixon indded was a strong leader.  I am 49 so I clearly remember the Nixon years.  When the recession became frightening he took the unprecedented step of a wage and price freeze.  A gutsy move that was not real popular.  It did help.  His quiet negotiations to China and the USSR were very impressive.\n\nOn the flip side Nixon did more than just lie.  His administrations use of the IRS to hound administration enemies was certainly criminal and his secret enemies lists were frightening.\n\nI hope history will eventually treat him as it should any president.  There were amazing strong points to his presidency and incredible weak points.  True historians usually give both sides and acknowledge that he was amazing with foreign policy and some internal policies while being a deeply paranoid one.  I do differ with some of those answering your question though.  He did indeed have to resign.  The votes for impeachment and removal for office were clearly there.\n\nIn short Richard Nixon was a human being.

No.  Nixon resigned before impeachment was voted on in the House.\n\nClinton was impeached, and aquitted in the Senate.

he effects of the Watergate scandal did not by any means end with the resignation of President Nixon and the imprisonment of some of his aides. Indirectly, Watergate was the cause of new laws leading to extensive changes in campaign financing. It was a major factor in the passage of amendments to the Freedom of Information Act in 1986, as well as laws requiring new financial disclosures by key government officials.\n\nWhile not legally required, other types of personal disclosure, such as releasing recent income tax forms, became expected. Presidents since Franklin Roosevelt had recorded many of their conversations, but after Watergate this general practice ended, at least as far as the public knows.\n\nWatergate led to a new era in which the mass media became far more aggressive in reporting on the activities of politicians. For instance, Wilbur Mills, a powerful congressman, was in a drunken driving accident. The incident, similar to others which the press had previously never mentioned, was reported, and Mills soon had to resign. In addition to reporters becoming more aggressive in revealing the personal conduct of key politicians, they also became far more cynical in reporting on political issues. A new generation of reporters, hoping to become the next Woodward and Bernstein, embraced investigative reporting and sought to uncover new scandals in the increasing amounts of financial information being released about politicians and their campaigns.\n\nSince Nixon and many senior officials involved in Watergate were lawyers, the scandal severely tarnished the public image of the legal profession.[1] In order to defuse public demand for direct federal regulation of lawyers (as opposed to leaving it in the hands of state bar associations or supreme courts), the American Bar Association, (ABA) launched two major reforms. First, the ABA decided that its existing Model Code of Professional Responsibility (promulgated 1969) was a failure, and replaced it with the Model Rules of Professional Conduct in 1983. The MRPC has been adopted in part or in whole by 44 states. Its preamble contains an emphatic reminder to young lawyers that the legal profession can remain self-governing only if lawyers behave properly. Second, the ABA promulgated a requirement that law students at ABA-approved law schools take a course in professional responsibility (which means they must study the MRPC). The requirement remains in effect.\n\nThe Watergate scandal left such an impression on the national and international consciousness that many scandals since then have been labeled with the suffix "-gate" — such as Contragate, Whitewatergate, Travelgate, "Zippergate" or Filegate in the U.S., Tunagate in Canada, Dianagate/Squidgygate and Thatchergate in the UK, and even PEMEXGATE and Toallagate in Mexico. In 2003 a scandal involving a group of Poland's key political figures and a Polish media magnate Lew Rywin was frequently referred to in Polish media as "Rywingate." Other impressions included Colegate, Sheikgate and Edgate.\n\nvague, eh? just visit the site below for more info Ü
