On this episode of Newt's World, this president's day marks the 50th anniversary of President

Richard Nixon's historic trip to the People's Republic of China. The week-long visit from

February 21 to 28, 1972 was the first time a US president had visited the People's Republic

of China. When Nixon arrived in Beijing, it ended 25 years of no communication or diplomatic

ties between the two countries and was a step in normalizing relations. Nixon described

his visit as the week that changed the world. My guest is someone who served as personal

aid, special assistant, then deputy assistant to President Nixon. He was responsible for

the planning and execution of the President's schedule and appearances plus oversight of

the White House advance and television offices. He was acting chief of protocol for President

Nixon's 1972 historic trip to China. And I'm really pleased to welcome my guest, Dwight

Chaper, author of the new book, The President's Man, the Memoirs of Richard Nixon's Trusted

Aid. Dwight, thank you for joining me. I'm really delighted to have you on to discuss this

historic anniversary and frankly to discuss Nixon, who I think was a remarkable figure

and who dominated American politics as much as any one person for almost 30 years. And

well, a lot of people's memory is only watergate. There was immensely more to Nixon than that,

including his winning one of the largest majorities in American history in his reelection campaign.
