desc=Bichard Nixon stared at the faces surrounding him in the East Room Staffers, Secret Service, cooks, custodians, all of them having served his administration sa loyally as they could for the past four years. He had decided to pontificate to them for a few minutes. At the very least, they could learn not to do what he did."And remember," he concluded, though your enemies may try to drag you down, never step down to their level. Never sink into pettiness and spise. Never submerge yourself in hate, because once you do, they will triumph and you will destroy yourself. It's been an honor. Thank you "He stepped out of the Bast Room to muted applause.With all the paperwork signed and noon just seconds away, Nixon opened the doors to the south lawn of the White House, holding it for Pat, Tricia, and Julie, followed by John and Jackie Kennedy. The press, of course, turned out to revel in his dethronement, a final twist of the knife. But Nixon took it in stride he wouldn't be there for them to kick around much longer.At the stairway to Marine One, Nixon shook Kennedy's hand, simply stating, "Keep her steady, Jack." He climbed the stairway and turned around for one last look at the White House, the staff, the guards, the reporters, the cameras, and he couldn't stop himself from smiling. He gave a wave and threw up two "V for victory signs, chuckling at the fervent applause he got from the crowd. He then turned around and stepped onto Marine One and into history.
