Nixon was born into a poor family in Yorba Linda in California. His father had a grocery store and a gas station. He grew up with the rules and customs of the conservative, Christian Quaker community. During his political career, he often referred to his simple origins.

Nixon was a talented boy, but his family couldn't afford to let him study at an expensive university. Instead, he took lessons at a local Quakerschool, Whittier College, where he obtained his degree in 1934. He was then offered a scholarship for a law school at Harvard University, which he had to refuse because he could not be missed at home. He later went on a scholarship to the newly established (and now prestigious) law course at Duke University.

In 1946 he conquered a place in the American Congress. His campaigns at this stage of his career were characterized by an anti-communist tone and aggressive style.

In 1950, Nixon was elected a senator, defeating actress and congressman Helen Gahagan, whom he had accused during the campaign of communist sympathies.

Nixon became the 36th vice president in 1952, under Dwight D. Eisenhower. Worth mentioning of his vice-presidency is that he actually ruled the country three times; Eisenhower was sick in all cases. Furthermore, as chairman of the senate (one of the vice president's duties), he openly supported Senator Joseph McCarthy and his hunt for (alleged) communists.

- Henry Kissinger was born in Furth, Germany, on May 27, 1923. In 1938, due to anti-Semitic persecution in Nazi Germany, his parents emigrated with him to the US. Five years later, he obtained his American citizenship.

After serving in World War II, he earned his doctorate from Harvard University in 1954, immediately becoming an instructor at the same institution; After a few years, he obtained the title of teacher.

Kissinger was the Secretary of State of presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

Iam told that hundreds if not thousands of these (armenians) were sent at once to the front ranks at the dardanelles, where death in a very short space of time is almost a certainty. the older men were then deported into the interior, while the women and children, when not carried off in an opposite direction, were left to shift for themselves as best they could. the terrible feature of this deportation up to date is that it has been carried out on such a basis as to render it practically impossible in thousands of cases that these families can ever again be reunited. not only wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, but even mothers and their little children have been dispersed in such a manner as to preclude practically all hope that they will ever see each other again. according to this excerpt, what does the author consider to be the worst part of the deportation during the armenian genocide?
