[Rarebooks] FS: Richard Nixon INSCRIBED to William Randolph Hearst, Jr., son of CITIZEN KANE

[Charles Agvent]

[NIXON, Richard] TOLEDANO, Ralph de. NIXON. New York: Henry Holt and 
Company, (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.
