75. Richard Nixon reading his resignation speech. I'll never forget it.
Other early memories:
A political cartoon of Pres. Ford going crazy w/ the veto stamp. It even had a band-aid on his forehead. I drew it myself and showed it around to the adults in the house. No one was impressed.
The day after Carter was elected, asking my stepfather "who won?" and he didn't know and said "I don't care."
Three-Mile Island -- vaguely
Reagan firing the air traffic controllers. I was incensed, but I didn't know why.
Then nothing until the first Gulf War.
Then nothing until about halfway through the Clinton administration.
