"Let it be said in passing that Richard Nixon was the best American president of the post-war period: he ended the Vietnam War, opened up to China forty years ahead of his time, eliminated the misunderstanding of the âgold exchange standardâ, and was not a mafioso. But because, unlike Kennedy (who started the Vietnam War, botched the dangerous âBay of Pigsâ affair, brought the world to the brink of World War III alongside Khrushchev, and was close friends with notorious gangsters such as Sam Giancana), he had an ugly face, he went down in history as âNixon the hangmanâ."
