One of Richard Nixon's presidential campaigns used the phrase "Nixon Now" as the campaign slogan.
In a later campaign, it said, "Now more than ever."
The Tricky Dick documentary on HBO Max has basically seven highlights of Nixon's public service career:
- the Checkers speech
- the kitchen debate
- 1960 campaign for president, running against John Kennedy [Kennedy won]
- 1962 campaign for governor of California against Pat Brown (father of Jerry Brown), [Brown won]
- 1968: running for president and winning
- 1972: won re-election
- Watergate - and resigning from the presidency in 1974
-------------------------------------------------------------
In 1962, after conceding the gubernatorial election in California to Pat Brown, Nixon appeared at a gathering of newspaper reporters and told them he was leaving public life; he said, "you've had a lot of fun" but "you won't have Nixon to kick around anymore"....
