Journalist and Ronald Reagan biographer Lou Cannon worked for the San Jose Mercury News from 1961 to 1969 and then the Washington Post from 1972 to 1998. During this time he covered many political campaigns and figures – including President Nixon. In an oral history interview with the Nixon Presidential Library, Mr. Cannon reflects on the war in Vietnam, how the Washington Post covered Watergate, President Nixon’s resignation and what Ronald Reagan thought of Richard Nixon.
