I can't think of any myself

NIXON did a few things.... okay..can't

Finally got us out of Indochina.

Ended the draft.

Drafted and signed the first nuclear limitation treaty with Russia
(the SALT treaty).

Opened the first American dialogue with the Chinese (a communist!)
government.

Created the EPA.

Sent the brilliant Henry Kissinger to the middle east to get Egypt,
Syria and Israel to stop fighting. He was successful.

combined with a stew of paranoia, arrogance, and stupidity, he got
involved in Watergate. He will be remembered for nothing else. In
many ways, I think Nixon was a terribly warped man.

Flawed. And very afraid of people. Saw him up close and personal (face to
face) at a rally in Toledo in 1960. The fear was palpable.
