You might remember the scene from Oliver Stone's movie Nixon: The President went to the Lincoln Memorial in the dark of night and was confronted by student protesters. Former White House aide Egil "Bud" Krogh says Stone got it wrong—Nixon didn't just talk about football.
It would really mean a lot to me to have a copy of this program. I was one of the students (from N.C. State U) who was there with Nixon at Lincoln Memorial that morning. I have never been able to come up with any pictures of that event, so I suppose there aren't any.
Hi Ed,
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the show.
In order to have a copy of our show, all you need to do is go to the main show page for this episode, and on the left column you'll see a link that says "Listen to Show." Click there. That should open up another window, and from there you’ll be able to download different bits from the show as .mp3 files. These files can be opened in a program like iTunes and then burned onto a CD or listened to whenever you'd like.
Enjoy! Andrea
Nixon devoted about 3 pages on this in his memoirs.
