Richard Nixon often made trips around the nation, so he made an important role in the government (Aronson). People believed that Nixon stopped dealing with politics after his defeat (Aronson). He was the 37th president throughout 1969 until 1974 (Aronson). Nixon was known to be "quiet and smart" in his childhood (Aronson). He "play [ed] the piano before he was five years old" (Aronson). He likes to read as well, and he "enjoy [s] music" (Aronson). Nixon is mostly interested with trains (Aronson). In 1969, during Richard Nixon's first term, American astronauts successfully landed on the moon for the first time (Whitehouse). Nixon was not all that good of a president, however, for he was part of the infamous Watergate Scandal (Biography). Because this happened, Nixon was the only president to quit from presidency (Biography). People also have nicknames for him, such as 'Red Hunter' and 'Slick Rick' (Biography).
