A messianic obsession to be more powerful and successful than all his predecessors. Unscrupulousness. Financed by oil millionaires. And a penchant for hamburgers.

The day Richard (“Dick”) Nixon decided to become a politician was not a good day for America. Dick was twelve, and the newspapers reported in sensational style about a “scandal of the century”: in the spring of 1923, ministers of President Harding had secretly sold off state-owned oil fields for their own benefit. “When will the President finally act?” asked the “New York Times,” bemoaning the swamp of corruption in the government.
