Out of the closet: Postscript

Scrolling dorsum through around recent posts, I came across my review of "All the President's Men," where I noted:
It all climaxed on the nighttime of August 8, 1974, when President Richard "I am non a crook" Nixon announced his resignation, inwards the confront of nearly sure enough impeachment... The side past times side day, nosotros left on a route trip to see my uncle inwards Minneapolis, as well as everywhere nosotros stopped along the way, the newspapers had huge headlines, the likes of which I had mayhap exclusively e'er seen i time earlier (when the astronauts landed on the moon), "President resigns."  I even then convey a copy, somewhere inwards the depths of my parents' basement.
It wasn't inwards the basement... it was in the cupboard of my one-time bedroom. ;)



(And similar a shot it's inwards a recycling bin.)  ;)
