Post #2: Exhibits

This article from the San Antonio Express was published in May of 1977. This article talks about the reactions to the Nixon Interview and how some found it emotional and agreed while others thought the attitudes did not help the Republican Party rebuild from the downfall of Nixon. It mentioned the burdens that NIxon will have to carry and the tears he shed before resignation, but also said that the interviews shed "no new light" on the Watergate Scandal.
