      Jack Chesney loves Kitty Verdun and Charley loves Miss Amy Spettigue. They invite the ladies to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil, "where the nuts come from." Cancelling her visit at the last minute, the millionaire aunt sends the boys into cataclysmic confusion. What do they do now? The problem is solved by drafting their feckless Oxford undergrad pal into a black satin skirt, bloomers and wig. As "Charley's Aunt," this charming frump is introduced to the ladies, to Jack's father and to Stephen Spettigue, Amy's guardian. When the real aunt turns up, classic comic confusion ensues as Fancourt Babberley, posing as "Charley's Aunt," tricks Spettigue into agreeing to the marriage of his ward, the real aunt marries Jack's father, Jack gets Miss Verdun, and Fanny Babs regains the fortune he lost at gambling as well as the girl he loves.

      In this revelatory biography, Evan Thomas presents a unique portrait of Richard Nixon, America's thirty-seventh president, who was both optimistically driven and tragically flawed. As a key architect of the modern Republican Party and its "silent majority," Nixon also took liberal stances, such as desegregating Southern schools, creating the Environmental Protection Agency, and ending the draft. Growing up in a devout Quaker family, he was overshadowed by an older brother and thrived on conflict. Throughout his life, from high school to his political career, Nixon led crusades and battled perceived enemies. He famously captivated audiences with his "Checkers" speech, yet his darker political maneuvers earned him the nickname "Tricky Dick." Drawing on diverse historical accounts, Thomas reveals the contradictions of a leader who achieved significant diplomatic milestones, like détente with the Soviet Union and improved relations with China, but whose underhanded tactics marred his legacy long before Watergate. This biography offers a nuanced character study and a political analysis, presenting a complex figure often reduced to a mere caricature, showcasing both his bravery and deviousness.
