Crazy coincidence!

We've been remodeling half of our home and finally finished, so I've been going through boxes of old papers, etc., deciding what to keep and what to toss. Down to the last box, which had been sitting in my family room for about three weeks. Stacks of old letters and school memorabilia. At the bottom of the box, I find... Five old newspapers from my hometown from the three days before, day of, and day after Nixon's resignation. Headline on the day before he resigned was "Nixon says he will not leave office". Yikes!!

"...day before he resigned was 'Nixon says he will not leave office'".

Will history repeat itself? I wish!
