Nixon Resigns the Presidency as reported in the Washington Post...

Item # 727145 ·
THE WASHINGTON POST, Washington, D.C., August 9, 1974 

* President Richard Nixon resigns
* Best publication to be had

Arguably the most desired newspaper containing major political reports of the last 100 years would be the revered Washington Post. And few political events of the last century would be more significant than the resignation of a sitting President: unprecedented in the 230 year history of the nation's highest office.
The front page features a bold, banner headline reading simply: "Nixon Resigns" and a 6 column subhead: "Ford Assumes Presidency Today". The photo is captioned: "President Nixon and daughter Julie embracing Wednesday after the President's decision to resign." 
Much more relating reporting on the inside pages.
As the Dallas newspapers covering the assassination of John F. Kennedy remain the holy grail of that tragic event, so too will this issue be for collectors of major political events.
Complete with all sections (100+ pages), in excellent, clean, well-preserved condition, exceedingly difficult to find as such.
