The Know-Your-President-Warts-and-All Quiz

The Crimson used to have a semi-annual Oldies Quiz. It would have been easy popular to do another one, but nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Neither is President Nixon, so here's your chance to kick him while he's down.

Score one point for each correct answer. If you score more than ten, you'd probably be better off studying.

Answer are at the bottom of the page, but please don't look at them. Think of future quizzes. Peeking would be an easy thing to do--you could do it, all right, not problem--but it would be wrong.

That's for sure.
