# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born to a poor Quaker family in Southern California in 1913, Nixon worked his way through Whittier College and Duke Law, then built his reputation as an anti-communist during the Alger Hiss case in the House. Elected to the Senate in 1950, he served eight years as Eisenhower's vice president, lost narrowly to Kennedy in 1960, announced his retirement after a failed California governor's race in 1962, then came back to win the presidency in 1968. His first term brought the Apollo 11 landing, the Environmental Protection Agency, diplomatic openings with China and the Soviet Union, and the end of American combat in Vietnam. Re-elected in a landslide in 1972, his second term unraveled as Watergate revelations mounted — administration officials had ordered the break-in, Nixon knew about the cover-up, and on August 9, 1974, facing near-certain impeachment, he resigned. He spent nearly twenty years writing, traveling, and reshaping his image as an elder voice on foreign policy, until a stroke killed him in April 1994.
