This 3-session course revisits historic figures, showing that almost all are complex characters, with good and evil traits intertwined in varying proportions. This session is on Richard Nixon, an ambitious person who achieved much and was undone, not by the wicked world like Woodrow Wilson, but by his own personal demons. And he was a Quaker, no less!  Manny looks at the broader context of what these famous figures meant in their time and ours, recounting their history and impact with analysis and humor.
