China being removed from Nixon?

Or, at least, reshuffled. Controversy over statues of China's Communist leaders Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai inside the Nixon Library is all part of its transition from private control to coming under the operation of the National Archives, like other presidential libraries.

What the story says about its private owners "spinning" Tricky Dick's legacy is totally true. I was there less than a month after Mark Felt outed himself as Deep Throat, and the library had not a word about it.

Bush Library land issue on hold again

The Fifth Court of Appeals sent a land title case related to the Bush Library and Southern Methodist University back to federal district court.

SMU is downplaying the ruling as just a “technical” issue, but we shall see.

Not just a friend of George’s shaking someone down for a donation to the Bush Big-Little book room Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University, but, shaking down Kazakh “access player” Yerzhan Dosmukhamedov, who has connections with former Kyrgyzstan president Askar Akayev, long accused of vote rigging, per his Wiki bio.

No wonder Shrub refuses to reveal library donors.
