Chapter13 WaterGate Forces The President To His Knees

On june 17, 1972 three Washington D.C police officers caught five men trying to listen to the president of the Unite States name Richard Nixon . The three men wore business suits and rubblier surgical gloves. So most people at the time would belief that their were suited for the job.

That situation open a lot of rumors and revealed that Richard Nixon White House was one of the most corrupt of the time and it helped pave the for most journalist. The judical branch, legislative branch and executive branch of the U.S government , forced Richard Nixon  to give up his job. The Washington Post placed the information on the burglary story on the front page . During that time Washington was a political town, it was an election year .  Most people were interesting to learn about hinted story and perhaps more than a routine crime.

The White House press secretary Ron Ziegler refused to talk about the burglary situation. His situation help paved the way two young reporters to help cover the story of the Watergate story. Bob Woodward was  Twentynine  year old who graduated from Yale and devoted his time at the navy before focusing  on his career as a journalist. Eventually he was hired from the Post at 1971. Carl Bernstein was twenty eight year old and worked as copy boy at the Washington star before he dropped out of the University of Maryland. The White House bureaucracy was the biggest story in American history . It helped made journalistic become legends but also changed the course of American History. Richard Nixon was finally forced to hand over tapes the the America people heard everything that was going on . On August 9, 1974  Richard Nixon became the only U.S president in history to resign from office.

I decided to choose this chapter because Richard Nixon was the first Unite State president in history to resign from office. I also compared different corruption during American history. Unfortunately today the level of corruption is the same . http// Nixon foundation.org , http// water gate. infor/nixon, http// www. Nixon liberary.gov/

In this chapter they are  key men who began their career as politicians during the 1950s . Joseph McCarthy was an Amercian politician who helped propel the republican party into the white house for the first times in 2 decades. Then three years later his career went downward and out of control. Another rising star was Roy Cohn who is known as the best American attorney who became famous for his close relationship with senator Joseph McCarthy.
 His career as an attorney was very sucessful . He helped pave the way for most successful leaders in modern America. He represented businessman and mobsters such as Donald Trump, Tony Salerno , Carmine Galante and John Gotti and studio 54 owner Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager and the NewYork Yankee baseball club. He built close relatioship  with the elite people such as Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

Edward R.Murrow helped reshape Television news and helped develop programs and commericals . Later on he would become an Icon of electronic journalism.He began to attract people because of his deep sense of humanity and style that sounded like poetry. In 1947 he became a legend on t.v. By 1953, the percentage of Amercian people who had t.v 's in their homes jumped to 80 percents.

I decided to choose this chapter because Roy Cohn was one of my favorite attorney during the 1950s. Also compare the broad casting program during the 21 century to the board casting style of Edward R.Murrow in the 1950s . http;// en. wikipedia. org// wiki/ Roy Cohn , http;// en wikipedia .org/ wiki/ Joseph Mccarthy , http// www. senator Mccarthy.com

During the Vietnam war televison became extremely instrumental bringing the war home to American living room. The network began increas Tv show from fifteen minutes to half an hour in 1963. Many media and political believe that bringing battle images in the America living room it would help turn it would help turn the america public against war. But it was completely opposed because America people were drawn to the Vietnam war it was the hotest news .  During the early 1960s people began showing the news on t.v instant of reading the newpapers. Television  showed image of war in ways that cannot be reproduce in new into everyt America living rooms on a nightly basis it showed up close images of the war.

The 1960s most people received their information about the war for Tv rather the newspapers. The televison network were drawning huge numbers of viewers from ABC, CBS, and NBC attracted a combined audience of 35 million per night.

Television news help end the war because most America people were watching innocent people dying  . It became uncomfortable for views.

I decided to choose this chapter because the Vietnam war was a great trauma for the america people . http www. vietnam pix.com , http www. Vietnam gear.com ,www.pbs org/ battle field vietnam.

World War 2 provided alot of opportunity for females. Females were able to expanded the role and change the traditional social order. For years men dominated the workfield but after World War 2 the nation needed man power , so their turn to women power . In the 1940 Unite State of American reshape it images because women began working outside of their home. One female that stillout was Rosie the Riveter gaining level of confidence because she learned not only she can work in a factory but she also found place in society.

Most Journalistic  believe World War 2 was the opportunity for most women . After winner the war our country had many weakness and help paved way for women opportunity. Women were so customed were short and later on to slack suits. The negative effort the men felt like failute because their were unable provide for his family. Newpaper article began compared men and women in the workfield just to gain advertising.

The NewYork time wrote article that women excelled in other factory job as well . It help created a gender battle that women were more activities then the men because their manages to excel in their job and also taking care of her husband and the family . Half century ago women were known as the four wall of the home now women have same right as men.

I decided to choose this chapter because I compare women in the world field 20 century and women in the workfield 21 century. I also believe all men and women are created equally. http www.mil/women , http// www. army of women .org/ , http// www. woman.com
