Sainthood with honour

Sainthood with honour

Berkeley (SNT) — A small California-based group is trying to mount a national drive to convince Richard Nixon to kill himself for the sake of the Republic.

The organisation, the People's Coalition for the Suicide of Nixon, is distributing bumper stickers which read: "Richard Nixon Become a Saint — Kill Yourself".

'This is the only way out for him to get out of the presidency with honour," a spokesperson for the group said recently, "It will sure save the people a lot of grief. This is the only way left for Richard Nixon to achieve greatness."

The Coalition has written to the Gallup Poll organisation asking that presidential popularity polls be expanded to read: "Do you think President Nixon should leave office by a) resignation, b) impeachment, or c). suicide."

The poll-takers have yet to reply.
