Nixon : A Bad President? Nixon revisionism was probably inevitable‚ and no doubt will continue stronger than ever in the wake of its subject’s death on April 22.

“As I look ahead‚ I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman‚ I seem to see “The River Tiber foaming with much blood.” These were the famous words of Enoch Powell in his “Rivers of Blood” speech. With his use of rhetorical devices and fallacies‚ his speech came off as very effective.

I’m calling it out and here is why. The main point of the speech is that she wants to fight for her right to vote and point
