Abstract
The paper compares the presidential scandals of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. First the paper reviews the Watergate scandal, and explains that this was just the tip of the iceberg, analyzing the machinations behind the break-in and reasons for it and its subsequent cover-up, and finding extensive criminal wrongdoing to be at the heart of the matter. Next, the paper focuses on President Clinton's sexual escapades, and analyzes why the press played up the story yet Clinton survived the impeachment process. Following this, the paper reviews various analyses of presidential personality and public perception, comparing the two Presidents, and focusing finally on the Meyer's Briggs Type Indicator of personality to show that Clinton was an Artisan while Nixon was a Guardian. The American public will, the paper informs us, love an Artisan despite his flaws, but respect a Guardian only in the absence of visible flaws. In conclusion, the paper finds that it is both the public perception of the respective Presidents' personalities, and the presence or absence of criminal wrongdoing, which caused Clinton's name to be praised while Nixon's is derided.

From the Paper
"History tells us that most likely, Nixon did not know in advance about the break-in and that his press secretary dismissed it as a "third-rate burglary." President Nixon lied when he assured the nation that "The White House has had no involvement in this particular incident". By the time of the press conference, he knew that several present and former White House employees were linked to the Watergate burglars. Nixon already had begun to cover those links by the time he asserted the White House's lack of involvement."

Abstract
This paper explains that Princess Diana and President Clinton exuded considerable charm that helped developed their initial popularity with their public. The author points out that, in each case, sexual indiscretion on the part of one or both of the marital partners enjoyed a high public profile. The paper stresses that both Diana and Clinton devoted a significant amount of time to political or social causes close to their hearts.
From the Paper
"Still, no story has just one side, and Bill Clinton has done much to forward political and social causes close to his heart. One of these is the cause of disadvantaged black people. For his work, Clinton has earned the honor of being inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. For his work promoting the interests of marginalized blacks not only in the United States, but around the world, Toni Morrison has referred to Clinton as ?our first Black president?. He was also the first White person to receive the honor of being inducted in the Black Hall of Fame. Rodney Slater, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, introduced Clinton with the words: "Mr. President, you have given so many of us the opportunity to be the first Black this, the first Black that, and tonight we are going to give you the opportunity to become the first White inductee into the Black Hall of Fame.""

Abstract
The thesis is divided into eight sections that appear as follows. The first section investigates key concepts from Adlerian psychology that are pertinent to the analysis of Clinton's life. The second section explores major events from Clinton's early, formative years-events that an Adlerian analysis would indicate are critical for understanding how the former president developed his unique approach to life. The investigation also provides an exploration of Clinton's possible mistaken beliefs and their formation in his early childhood. In addition, the research examines Clinton's painful earliest recollections and how his interpretation of organ inferiority pushed him to over compensate in his life. Adlerian tools of birth order are used to examine how Clinton's position as an only child/firstborn within his family affected his unique approach to life. In addition, the research provides an exploration of how the painful experiences of childhood neglect, like those that are reflected in Clinton's experiences with his stepfather Roger Clinton, and his mothers leaving him at a young age to study nursing, might contribute to the development of what Adler characterized as neurotic tendencies. The writer also applies Adlerian insights to explain the role of Family Hero in Clinton's life and its later impact on his adult life and presidency. The seventh and eighth sections explore how such a brilliant leader and popular president could give his enemies the ammunition they wanted by continuous sexual infidelities. Finally, the thesis explores the accomplishments of Bill Clinton and the Adlerian principles ultimately helped him succeed.

From the Paper
"The examination of American Presidents has fascinated Americans for many years. In recent years, the life of William Jefferson Clinton has been a particular point of interest. The purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyze, and discuss the private and public lives of Bill Clinton in congruence with the psychology of Alfred Adler. Assorted characteristics of Clinton's unique approach to life will be discussed and analyzed, and the study will recognize some political processes and outcomes. The discussion will not take a political stance on Bill Clinton; instead, it aims to recognize that his style of leadership was a result of his lifestyle. In order to describe and analyze Clinton impartially through the lens of Adlerian psychology, the thesis will identify all facets of Bill Clinton's character. For this reason, the thesis will evaluate the difficult circumstances in which he was born, and both the good and negative aspects of his early family life. Additionally, the thesis will reveal that although the former president had major struggles to overcome he managed to more often than not embody the crucial Adlerian qualities of equality, balance of power, gender equality, cooperation and social interest."

?Nixon Revisited?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that in ?Nixon Revisited? Hoff points out that Watergate could happen to anyone, but Nixon?s major mistake was typical of other previous and subsequent presidents and officials: he tried to cover it up. The author points out that most people list Nixon?s history as 1) Watergate, 2) foreign affairs, and 3) domestic affairs, but Hoff would completely switch the order and have domestic affairs first. The paper stresses Hoff?s conclusion that, based on the Nixon presidency, in the presidential primaries and debates, the electorate also should be looking at the candidate?s worse qualities to ascertain what will be the weaknesses of that presidency if the candidate is elected.
From the Paper
"For instance, one of the major battles at the beginning of Nixon?s tenure was over the Family Assistance Plan, which called for a guaranteed annual income or a so-called negative income tax to all poor heads of households (123-125). This replaced the stress on discounted services popular earlier. The announcement of the Family Assistance Plan
Proposal was a surprise, however, since it conflicted with the value of economic self-reliance anticipated from a Republican president. The Plan was mistakenly labeled as providing a guaranteed income; recipients were expected to work or accept places on training programs, in return for federal cash assistance. The original plan was rejected two years later; the Senate would pass other watered down versions."

Abstract
Nixon resigned from his office nearly thirty years ago, and his legacy continues to be shrouded in controversy. He was a complex, inconsistent, and highly contradictory personality whose presidency was an extremely mixed bag of successes, failures, and confusion. Nixon once made the prediction that by the turn of the century, he would begin to be viewed in a more favorable light. Marked by solid achievements both at home and abroad, Nixon's work while in office ended the Imperial Presidency, reopened Western communication with China and Russia, helped see the country through its first round of serious welfare reform; in short, Nixon did have a significantly positive impact upon the nation. But, it was Watergate that opened the doors to the seedier and frightening side of the Nixon Presidency. Secret tapings, brutal escalations in Vietnam, conspiracies to harm other politicians, and his involvement in the thefts at Watergate all cast a deep shadow over what Nixon had been able to accomplish. The most egregious abuses of executive privilege occurred under President Nixon who invoked that doctrine to shield embarrassing and incriminating information. This paper examines the Presidency of Richard M. Nixon, and to pay special attention to the implications of Watergate both during and after his term.

Abstract
Nixon resigned from his office nearly thirty years ago, and his legacy continues to be shrouded in controversy. He was a complex, inconsistent, and highly contradictory personality whose presidency was an extremely mixed bag of successes, failures, and confusion. Nixon once made the prediction that by the turn of the century, he would begin to be viewed in a more favorable light. Marked by solid achievements both at home and abroad, Nixon's work while in office ended the Imperial Presidency, reopened Western communication with China and Russia, helped see the country through its first round of serious welfare reform; in short, Nixon did have a significantly positive impact upon the nation. But, it was Watergate that opened the doors to the seedier and frightening side of the Nixon Presidency. Secret tapings, brutal escalations in Vietnam, conspiracies to harm other politicians, and his involvement in the thefts at Watergate all cast a deep shadow over what Nixon had been able to accomplish. The most egregious abuses of executive privilege occurred under President Nixon who invoked that doctrine to shield embarrassing and incriminating information (Rozell, 762). It is the purpose of this paper to examine the Presidency of Richard M. Nixon, and to pay special attention to the implications of Watergate both during and after his term.

Abstract
This paper examines the legacy of Richard Nixon.In particular, Nixon?s topsy-turvy relationship with China is examined with focus on the reason behind Nixon dramatically altering American relations with China. Another area that is analyzed is whether Nixon?s pursuit to leave his mark as an elder statesmen rationalized his change of stance in regards to US-China relations.
From the Paper
"Richard Nixon altered the nature of America?s relationship with the People?s Republic of China for political and personal reasons. Nixon wanted the Soviet Union to be more accommodating to American demands and he saw improving relations with China as the perfect bargaining chip. Nixon also wanted to put an end to the Vietnam War and he tried to use China to do so. Finally, Nixon wanted to show the American public and the world that he and his government could act on the world stage and he attempted to make his mark as an international statesman by improving relations with China."

Bill Clinton, 2006.
A paper analyzing Bill Clinton's attributes as a president.

Abstract
This paper discusses former president William Jefferson Clinton, and describes how his character traits affected his presidency. The paper describes both Clinton's weaknesses and strengths as a leader and shows how Clinton's personal life was not relevant to his presidential successes. The paper enumerates many of Clinton's achievements and explains how Clinton's leadership skills helped him reach them. The author discusses the Monica Lewinsky affair and contends that it had no bearing on Clinton's ability to be president or his leadership abilities.
From the Paper
"For Bill Clinton, more than any other president in recent memory (possibly excepting the current President Bush), character not only helps establish a leadership style, but rather defines it. For Bill Clinton, his character weaknesses also defined, more clearly than perhaps had been done before, exactly what the American people thought might constitute leadership in their president, and what that leadership must accomplish and what it could do without."

Abstract
This paper reviews and summarizes Radcliffe's book about Hilary Clinton, her successes, failures, political career and personal life and the forces that shaped her early career.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton grew up in an era where women often felt like they had to make a choice-choose between children and a career, between love and pursuing a life's dream of professional success. But Hillary Clinton was determined to 'have it all.' She wanted both a fulfilling private and personal life, and a fulfilling life as a career woman and later, as a politician on the national and international stage. This conviction came not simply from her ambition and her desire to advance the career of her husband. Rather, it was also motivated by a desire to engage in social activism, particularly to advance the causes the First Lady felt passionate about, such as children's rights, as well as and including women's rights."

From the Paper
"During his first term as governor, Clinton made efforts to improve Arkansas's economy, which was among the poorest in the country. He focused on improving the state highways as they were in a bad shape but had to raise taxes for meeting the cost, which proved unpopular. Some of his other initiatives such restriction on tree-cutting in national forests were opposed by the lumber and paper-making companies, while bankers were annoyed with his proposal to withhold state funds from banks that did not lend enough money for small businesses. Most of all, his opponents exploited the government's settling of Cuban refugees in Arkansas, by evoking the fear that they would take away jobs from the local workers. All of these factors contributed to Clinton's defeat in his bid for re-election for the governorship in 1980 against the Republican Party candidate (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of President Richard Nixon from his birth up until his resignation from the presidency after the Watergate scandal. It discusses how, as president, he concentrated mostly on foreign affairs, hoping to bring about a generation of peace and a new world order. It also examines how Nixon was a man people loved to hate and how his demeanor was not always affable. It shows that, instead of orchestrating the Watergate Scandal, he may have been responsible for protecting those involved, as well as responsible for instigating the cover up. Nixon has not left a populist legacy, but in some respects, he lives on in current foreign policy and Republican policy rhetoric.

From the Paper
"As Vice President, Nixon took on major duties in the Eisenhower Administration. Nominated for President in 1960, he lost by a narrow margin to John F. Kennedy. (Kennedy, Nixon and Vanocur, 1996) In 1962, Nixon ran unsuccessfully for Governor of California. This second loss led Nixon to bitterly announce: "you won't have Nixon to kick around anymore." However, he re-emerged as a presidential candidate in 1968 and ran a successful campaign against Democrat Hubert Humphrey and third-party candidate George C. Wallace. His accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. As he had promised, he appointed Justices of conservative philosophy to the Supreme Court."

Abstract
This paper looks at the moral and ethical debate surrounding former President Clinton's affair with former intern, Monica Lewinsky. In doing so, the paper compares Clinton's propensity for extra-marital affairs with that of former President Kennedy, also known to have had several extra-marital relationships. The paper notes the difference in press coverage and societal standards that made it possible for Kennedy to avoid public scandal but impossible for Clinton to avoid it. The paper also looks at the moral and ethical responsibility of a leader to be not only a proper role model, but to accept responsibility for his actions. The paper concludes by arguing that, while Clinton's behavior was unacceptable on a personal level, his service to the country was genuine and highly successful.
From the Paper
"In today?s political world, leaders are looked up to for creating a healthy social environment that is a pre-requisite for a healthy governing environment. More over, a growing population of the working class Americans is taking greater interest in ethics and values these days. Most voters link bad ethics with a person?s character. Many are of the view that a few ?bad apples? can spoil the working environment for the rest of the nation. Speaking of ethics, an individual who is well groomed should be able to act ethically without special training."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This psycho-historical analysis of Bill Clinton concentrates on the period of his adolescence from the vantage point of three types of developmental theory. The theoretical perspectives are those of Erik Erikson, whose psychosocial approach was psychoanalytic in origin but transcended basic psychoanalytic theory by expanding into the are of relations between human beings and their social settings; James Fowler, who drew on Erikson's developmental schemes and others but concerned himself with the individual's development of faith; and Jean Piaget, whose theory dealt primarily with cognitive development in children but extended into adolescence and adulthood as well. The three theoretical perspectives are applied to three themes: peer relations, parent-child relations, and academics. Each of these themes is developed on ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the strategy used by Hillary Clinton in getting elected to the United States senate. The writer studies this historic episode because Hillary Rodham Clinton is the only first lady ever to run for such a high office, and this fact alone draws considerable media and other attention. The paper explores women in politics and leadership before looking specifically the the case of Hillary Clinton. The writer includes a background into her politics, family life and values. The paper then explores the needs of the state of New York and the ability of Clinton to meet those needs.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton herself is a lightning rod for conservative and Republican political activists and for some voters, and this fact cannot be ignored. This is true not only because of a certain anger at the personal behavior of her husband but also because the Clintons have been demonized by the opposition since Bill Clinton was first elected President, and even before that in Arkansas. One might think that as the wronged wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton would gain more sympathy, but instead her status as victim is turned into a warped idea of how evil she and her husband are."
