@libramoon @msbellows @old_hippie @jilleduffy My undergrad diploma from UC Berkeley is signed by Ronnie Rayguns. I've often thought that I should have his signature acid washed out.
When I graduated I moved down to Santa Monica - and had to deal with Bob Dornan as our Congress critter - gawd, what an awful person!!!
I wonder at the streak in humanity that can produce sociopaths like Dornan (and S. Miller). By comparison, Nixon and Reagan were downright caring humans.
The John Adams opera, "Nixon In China" (well worth seeing/hearing) paints an interesting alternative, at times even sympathetic, view of Nixon.
(BTW, I walked past People's park almost every day - and got tear gassed, too. But I never really supported the People's Park movement - it was too grungy even for my impoverished student tastes.)
