Clarification needed in early life

[edit]

The article says at 12 Nixon was forbidden to play sports due to a spot on a lung X-ray. It says it turned out not to be TB, but it doesn't say when that was. A few years later, he was playing football, so it must have been before high school, but if anyone has a biography, a timeframe would be appreciated.

First sentence

[edit]

@Lawrence 979 and Wehwalt: A recent discussion of how to compose first sentences in the U.S. Presidents articles can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States Presidents#First sentences. I have also brought the question up at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Biographies' first sentence. Bruce leverett (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

34th not 36th vice president 73.249.146.176 (talk) 16:16, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Harry Truman was the 34th, Nixon was indeed the 36th. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:War criminals

[edit]

Nixon's use of Agent Orange in Vietnam makes him a war criminal, alongside his predcessor Lyndon B. Johnson. You for Me and Me for You (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
