First published in 1923, this book explores the impact on
development that heredity and environment has on children. Chaplin
argues that too much reliance is placed on education and in fact
parents, physicians and teachers should equally be taking into
consideration the physical and mental constitution of the child,
which could be linked to hereditary and environmental factors. In
conjunction with the moral, spiritual and intellectual
predispositions that the child may have, Chaplin argues the pros of
eugenics (in the perspective of the early 20th century) and equally
the importance of euthenics for future prosperity of generations to
come.

An inside look at President Richard Nixon's administration and epic
trips to China and Russia, as well as his incredible Watergate
downfall, by the man who was at his side for a decade as his aide
and White House Deputy. From Richard Nixon's
"You-won't-have-Nixon-to-kick-around-anymore" 1962 gubernatorial
campaign through his world-changing trips to China and the Soviet
Union and epic downfall, Dwight Chapin was by his side. As his
personal aide and then Deputy Assistant in the White House Chapin
was with him in his most private and most public moments. He
traveled with him, assisted, advised, strategized, campaigned and
learned from America's most controversial president. As Bob
Haldeman's protege, Chapin worked with Henry Kissinger in opening
China-then eventually went to prison for Watergate although he had
no involvement in it. In this memoir Chapin takes readers on an
extraordinary historic journey; presenting an insider's view of
America's most enigmatic President. Chapin will relate his
memorable experiences with the people who shaped the future: Henry
Kissinger, his close friend Bob Haldeman, Choi En-lai, Pat Nixon,
the embittered Spiro Agnew, J. Edgar Hoover, Frank Sinatra, Mark
"Deep Throat" Felt, young and ambitious Roger Ailes, and John Dean.
It's a story that ranges from Coretta Scott King to Elvis Presley,
from the wonder of entering a closed Chinese society to the Oval
Office, and concludes with startling new insights and conclusions
about the break-in that brought down Nixon's presidency.
