The book contains Acknowledgments, an Index, and 21 black and white illustrations of Richard Nixon, Spiro T. Agnew, Agnew's lawyers, and others who were involved in the Vice President's resignation. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Inscribed by one of the co-authors (Richard Cohen) on the front free endpaper. Inscriptions reads: June 22, 1974. For Aviva & Larry--Friends I cherish--with admiration & affection. Dick Cohen. Beginning with the authors' discovery of evidence that indicated that Vice President Agnew was involved in taking bribes, conspiracy, and income-tax evasion, the authors lead the reader to the striking moment in a Baltimore courtroom when Mr. Agnew pleaded nolo contendere to a single charge of tax evasion. Richard Martin Cohen (born February 6, 1941) is a syndicated columnist for the Washington Post. He joined the Washington Post as a reporter in 1968 and later became the paper's chief Maryland correspondent. He covered the investigation of former Vice President Spiro Agnew and wrote a book called A Heartbeat Away: The Investigation and Resignation of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew with fellow reporter Jules Witcover. In 1976, he began writing a column for the paper's Metro section, which became nationally syndicated in 1981. Jules Joseph Witcover (born July 16, 1927) is an American journalist, author, and columnist. Witcover is a veteran newspaperman of 50 years' standing, having written for The Baltimore Sun, the Washington Star, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. Spiro Theodore "Ted" Agnew (November 9, 1918 - September 17, 1996) was the 39th Vice President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1973. He is the second and most recent officeholder to resign the position, after John C. Calhoun in 1832. In 1966, Agnew was elected the 55th Governor of Maryland. Agnew was selected as running mate by Nixon. Agnew's centrist reputation interested Nixon; the law and order stance he had taken in the wake of civil unrest that year appealed to aides such as Pat Buchanan. As vice president, Agnew was often called upon to attack the administration's enemies. In 1973, Agnew was investigated on suspicion of conspiracy, bribery, extortion and tax fraud. Agnew had accepted kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore County executive and Governor of Maryland. The payments had continued into his time as vice president. On October 10, 1973, Agnew pleaded no contest to a single felony charge of tax evasion and resigned from office.
