Real Richard Nixon: 28 DAYS (11) - Leaving the White House

-Clip 11- The Real Richard Nixon Vol. 3: "28 Days" Interview with Frank Gannon In this interview/documentary segment, President Richard Nixon discusses his leaving the White House on the day of his resignation from the presidency (August 9, 1974). He also responds to the frequent criticism of him for not mentioning his wife First Lady Pat Nixon in his farewell remarks. Furthermore, he describes the thoughts that went through his mind when flying away in a helicopter from the White House for the final time. At the end, he sums up the triumphal and tragic story of his life. The video clip comes from 38 hours of interviews that Nixon did with Frank Gannon in 1983 during eight days of interviews spread out over several months. Gannon used to work for Nixon and was well acquainted with the former president. Subsequently, Nixon is more at ease and open here than in most of his recorded interviews, including the more famous Frost/Nixon interviews, which were more confrontational. This volume of the interview covers Richard Nixon's account of his final days in office.
