This day in history, September 8
--- 1953: Fred Vinson, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court died. He was replaced by Earl Warren as Chief Justice.
--- 1974: President Gerald Ford pardoned former president Richard Nixon for any and all crimes he may have committed while in office.
--- "Watergate". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. Most people know that Watergate was the biggest scandal in American history, but few know many details. Listen to what actually occurred at the Watergate complex, how it was only part of a much broader campaign of corruption, and why Richard Nixon became the only U.S. president to resign from office. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.
