Who’s next?
Four men and a newbie
The history-and-death-obsessed ten-year-old I never quite outgrew will never forget the Nixon’s 1994 funeral, specifically the shot of the five living presidents grouped together, chronologically, looking all somber and mournful towards the man who lowered the bar for them. It was a moving, powerful image, the cumulation of 21 years without a presidential death, the sobering comedown after a ten-year span (1963-1973) that wiped out five presidents. While the above pic occurs under slightly more celebratory circumstances, it nonetheless evokes nostalgia for that stunning shot.
