We lost one of our own today. The world is decidedly less bright without her.

Folks, I'm off today to Istanbul for a week (Internet Governance
Forum). After that, possibly with a short break back in the USA, I'll
be in Wales for a conference at Aberystwyth University in Wales. I
shall spend some trying to learn how to pronounce Aberystwyth.
So turnaround time on list requests and other things may be slower
than usual -- David Ziegler, I know, will do his best to fill the
gaps.
If I'm lucky, I may get to spend some time in the UK prior to the
Wales conference.

Similarly, Alexander the Great died of such over indulgence. Good riddance to bad trash.

I was seven. I was just glad that the whole dismal affair was over because Senate hearings pre-empted the Jerry Lewis movie on Saturday afternoons. I was very sad when that happened.

I find my memory sometimes is what I choose to remember, but I recall going over to the store to watch the resignation speech, being forewarned to show respect by Doc. I remember going over to the store and watching the speech on Rollie and Marilyn's television in the store. Or do I? Did we do this or is it just my imagination?

So many of us have had the experience of watching the Perseid meteor
shower at Winedale, sometimes on top of the barn. Today's Google
"doodle" (an animation at the Google.com home page) reminded me of
this, so I thought I'd send all of you to the animation if you haven't
seen it yet.
And it reminds me to look at our Supermoon tonight as well.
Best,

My guess is that awareness among the sumer '74 class of how things
were accelerating in late July and August of 1974 was perhaps pretty
dim. That year the class was six weeks long, if I remember the S-at-W
timeline correctly. In any case, the big events that led to
resignation were in the last week or so of July -- they included the
Supreme Court's decision that Nixon must release the tapes, followed
by the House's decision to proceed to impeachment . Woodward and
Bernstein, among many others, documented that Nixon quickly assessed
that the Senate would likely convict him on one or more of the
charges. (He even queried his allies whether it would be tenable to
stay on if he carried only 10 votes for acquittal in the Senate; his
allies indicated that this would not be a good idea.)
In any case, they took place when the Summer '74 class was thinking
hardest about performances.
Here's the timeline:

I can easily imagine that someone who was at Winedale in summer 1974
may remember it differently, just because "there is no clock in the
forest." I know that I have a dim memory that the summer 2005 reunion
class somehow coincided with Hurricane Katrina, although checking the
calendar suggests to me that this was not true. So I too can testify
that Winedale for me has always been a place out of time.
As it happens, your reporter participated in a Congressional staff
briefing yesterday in the Rayburn House Office Building, perhaps in
the same committee room where the vote to impeach President Nixon took
place. See attached photo.

But then Ronnie Reagan went and reanimated Tricky Dick in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and the rest is...tragedy.
