Today we contiued to talk about Nixon; how he was the "green president" and actually supported several non-republican causes, such as abortion.

He also tried to "Cool down" the cold war, and when he visited the Soviet Union, he passed SALT 1, which limited the amount of nuclear weapons we could have. It also banned the development of anti-missle systems. This lead to slightly more peaceful times with the USSR.

Then we pretty mujch agreed that um....the '72 election was a blowout. He oppponent, George McGovern only won two states. Ha.
