Interview with Anne Mitchell
Our interviewee was Anne Mitchell. She was born on April 4, 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, but, grew up in Catonsville. She taught at Westchester Elementary School. She is also one of the few people who we know were alive, and old enough to remember the presidency of Richard Nixon. Anne Mitchell was a democrat who had lived in Washington, DC and Afghanistan during Nixon’s presidency. She had a bias approach to my questions because she was completely against President Richard Nixon and republicans. She had hated him from the start just like most of the Americans did according to polls. She also brought even more bias because of Watergate and what he did to "mess up" the United States Government. Her bias concealed everything good that he did. She left out that he had helped improve relations in Asia and many other countries and that he had slowed down the Cold War and had and began the SALT talks. She was a great example to show that Nixon had many achievements, but his resignation and Watergate had been what he was later known for. Her connection to Nixon is that her husband, Lou Mitchell, had been head of a Civil Rights committee before Nixon had become president. Nixon had used his Plum Book, when coming into presidency, to remove Lou Mitchell and many others from their positions. Lou, at the time, had been offered a job in Afghanistan which he then took because of his lack of a job. Anne Mitchell's life was completely changed by moving her to a completely different country, an unfamiliar part of the world, all of which Nixon had caused.
She filled in many blanks on what Nixon did and how the people reacted. She had explained on why people were staying away from finding the information on Watergate and, at first and why they had grown angry and hateful towards Nixon before his resignation. She reinforced our opinions about the public towards President Richard Nixon by not mentioning anything positive about Nixon and mainly talking about Watergate. She had also informed us on how Nixon didn't need Watergate in order to win the elections of 1972, and that it was a waste of time for him when he could still won by just a smaller margin. Overall, her opinion towards Nixon was that he was stupid and a bad president.
