[Charles Agvent]

[NIXON, Richard] TOLEDANO, Ralph de. NIXON. New York: Holt (1956).
First  Edition. The first study of this complicated man. INSCRIBED and
SIGNED  by both Toledano and Nixon to editor William Randolph  Hearst,
Jr.,  son of William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper despot and subject
of  Orson  Welles's film CITIZEN KANE. It was Hearst who  was  largely
responsible  for  the  Hollywood image of  the  hard-drinking  cynical
reporter  always  in  pursuit  of breaking news.  The  younger  Hearst
shared  the  1956 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting  for  his
interviews  with  the  new Russian leadership, and in  1959  he  would
cover  Nixon's  visit to the Soviet Union. Nixon's inscription  reads:
"To  Bill  Hearst/who  is always a/friend in good  or/bad  weather  --
from/Dick  Nixon."   A fine association.   Spine of  book darkened.
Very Good in Near Fine price-clipped dustwrapper.        $1500.00
