In this program, we'll explore the break-in, the cover-up, the secret tapes, and the eventual fall of a man who achieved significant accomplishments yet was undone by unchecked flaws. Nixon founded the EPA, ended the draft, opened relations with China, helped end the Vietnam War, and more. Yet when most people hear his name, they think of “Tricky Dick,” corruption, and deceit.
The story reveals a powerful truth: we are all a mixture of good and bad. Left unchecked, even a little unrestrained evil can ruin everything.
