(And those who use the word "fifties" to denote approximately 1925-75. The
"fifties" do not comprise the Nixon or Hoover presidencies, nor WWII, nor
the Beatles...)

Nixon was in office in the '50s ('53-'61), BTW. Hoovers sucked

Eh?

'53-'61 would be about right for Nixon as Eisenhower's VP, but he was
President from 1969-1974. See...

I didn't say Nixon was President, only "in office"; one heartbeat
