Just catching up on this now. I've always wondered why Nixon's resignation letter was addressed to the Secretary of State (Kissinger). Do you know why?

Love this (esoteric) question! It seems to be a matter of law that the Sec of State receives such a letter. As for why that is, maybe we'll need to devote a future episode!
