to finish a project deadline. I rushed through it, hopped into my car, and rushed to my boyfriend's apartment.
Soon as I walked in the door, his roommates handed me a beer and said I was just in time
We cheered and toasted each other when he got to the actual resignation words.

Co-worker was on break in the back listening to the radio. He walked up to the front and said, "That fucker Nixon resigned"
Or at least that's how I remember it.

It wasn't until recently that my hatered of Nixon eased enough to recognize the good he did, which will never cancel out the war crimes he and Henry committed.
