NAMES IN THE NEWS : Nixon’s Book to Get Personal : Nixon’s Book to Detail Resignation
Former President Richard M. Nixon says his autobiography due next spring will be the most personal book he has ever written and will describe in detail his experiences in resigning the presidency in disgrace.
Simon & Schuster, the publisher, would not disclose terms of the contract, but said it plans a first printing of at least 200,000.
“The book contains reflections and conclusions based on my entire life, from private, political, foreign policy and philosophical standpoints,” the 76-year-old Nixon said in a statement.
He has pledged his income from the book to the Nixon Library and Birthplace, scheduled to open next year at Yorba Linda, Calif.
