Features: Richard Nixon (1913-1994) faced numerous crises throughout his life. American media declared his political death on multiple occasions. Yet, surprisingly, Nixon always managed to rise from the depths and propel his career to new heights. It was this interplay of peaks and valleys that made Nixon's life so vibrant. As he once said, "Only when you are at the deepest valley can you appreciate how magnificent the view is when you climb to the highest peak." Nixon's political career also serves as a microcosm of the social and evolutionary changes in American society after World War II.
