Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, who was the only President in more
than two centuries of American history to resign from office, died last night at New York HospitalCornell Medical Center. He was 81 years old and lapsed into a deep coma on Thursday morning after
suffering a stroke on Monday. His daughters, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Tricia Nixon Cox, were at
Mr. Nixon's bedside when he died.

I have had my own bloody relationship with Nixon for many years, but I am not worried about it
landing me in hell with him. I have already been there with that bastard, and I am a better person for
it. Nixon had the unique ability to make his enemies seem honorable, and we developed a keen
sense of fraternity. Some of my best friends have hated Nixon all their lives. My mother hates Nixon,
my son hates Nixon, I hate Nixon, and this hatred has brought us together… It was Richard Nixon who
got me into politics, and now that he's gone, I feel lonely. He was a giant in his way. As long as Nixon
was politically alive -- and he was, all the way to the end -- we could always be sure of finding the
enemy on the Low Road. There was no need to look anywhere else for the evil bastard.
Hunter S. Thompson’s Obituary for Nixon

Hunter S. Thompson, the dean of gonzo journalism and a longtime contributor to Rolling Stone, died
Sunday in his Colorado home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 67… If he feared
anything, Thompson knew how to hide it well. “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity
to anyone,” he once said, “but they’ve always worked for me.”
