On memories of Antioch College:
There used to be a doughnut shop that opened about 4:00 AM And there
was the old teletype in the student union during Nixon’s last days
before he resigned and we’d all gather around and read the teletype as
it printed off the stories about the Saturday night massacre as Nixon
fired administration officials…The cooperative education program
[brought him to Antioch College].
