Nixon before his resignation speech and then the full speech. This is a seminal moment in American History and this footage is pretty amazing. You've likely seen the speech before but check out Nixon prior to the speech joking around with the crew and secret service. He's pretty cool under pressure but still, you can feel the gravity of the moment, despite his best efforts.

by the way, I was led to this after seeing Nixon's resignation letter amidst the post forwardslash posted regarding the beautifully written resignation of Reginald Scott Braithwaite: http://hubski.com/pub?id=24374 -a great read regarding employers viewing Facebook profiles during the interview process.
