10 snapshots of New York from celebrated diaries

From 'New York Diaries' edited by Teresa Carpenter, 10 stories of New York City through the centuries.

10. Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.

"Nixon came at last to 65th Street.... the next morning, Sunday, Peter called, 'Look out the window.' I did and saw the unmistakable figure on the terrance picking up some logs.... Mr. Pashkoff, who installed some energy-saving storm windows during our absence, later told me that he too saw Nixon in search of logs. This time the door closed behind him. When he approached it, he discovered that he was locked out. He began banging on the door and, after a few minutes, someone opened up, and he was rescued."

鈥 From the diary of American historian and social critic Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. on March 4, 1980
