Conservative and apologetic view of the Nixon White House. While intriguing in its writing, it made excuses for breaking the law and evading it.

“The choices you have for your children are not the same as mine. For me, there is no such thing as a banned book. Ideas are meant to be explored, understood & learned from. My son will always be able to read any book. You can't regulate that.”

“What had caused my sudden change of heart?

Then, I realized that I was not just mourning her.

There was a shift, a change, and it was all that Klenard needed. With no one to contest me, a new era was born. The kingdom can grow.

It was hope and I was frightened by it.”
