[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." Over the course of time, Nixon's attitude toward journalists 
became much less friendly. A fine association copy. Spine of book 
darkened. Very Good in a Near Fine, price-clipped dustwrapper.
