Almanac: At the Capitol

Nixon was Vice President of the United States in 1959, but he was just months away from announcing his run for President when he was interviewed by KTCA General Manager John C. Schwarzwalder.  Nixon and Schwarzwalder spent most of their time talking about the challenges that communism presented to the free world. Nixon peppered his comments with his first-hand knowledge of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev who he had met in Moscow earlier that year.
