It Wasn't Called 'CREEP' For Nothing...

Everything old is news again, now that the National Archives has made tapes from President Richard Nixon's Oval Office available for download. Tapes from January 1973 are the newest addition to the online collection, and include many conversations only recently declassified. The Nixon Presidential Library & Museum's website has also been updated with a large batch of documents, including handwritten notes of other conversations.

Some of the highlights include Nixon's views on:

• where women belong in the Republican hierarchy
• the psyche of the Jewish people as a whole
• interracial pregnancies

However, there's also tons of material on Watergate, the Saturday Night Massacre, and previously-classified documents on Israel's efforts to build nuclear weapons.

Ah, but it's a new day. I don't know how the current White House residents feel about audio recordings, but they've definitely embraced flickr!
