Question #1:\u00c2\u00a0 What phrase am I least certain about in terms of accuracy?
\nQuestion #2:\u00c2\u00a0 According to the song, how has Richard Nixon “made the difference”?

\nQuestion #5:\u00c2\u00a0 What song did you immediately look up to on youtube to clear “Nixon Now” out of your head?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
