Just remember, he was called Tricky Dick for a reason. the guy was a fraudulent douchebag, just like every other US statesman that ever drew breath. because of that, he was a model president.

Americans don't see the point. They hate nixon not because he killed a million Vietnamese and was a warmonger in general but because of a stupid scandal. Nixon isn't as bad as reagan or the bush family.

"Detente" meant that the Soviet Union and the USA were not spitting angrily at each other but were more interested in what the Soviets called "peaceful coexistence". It's in Wikipedia under that spelling.
