First edition (third printing, 1978) of "The Memoirs of Richard Nixon" signed in black pen. Although these signed editions of Nixon's memoirs are not particularly rare, this book is an important addition to my Presidential autographs. I'm too young to remember when Nixon died, but I do remember seeing the Watergate complex on my first trip to Washington D.C. when I was a kid.
Richard Milhouse Nixon (1913-1994) was the 37th President of the United States. He was the only U.S. President (to date) to resign from office, following the Watergate scandal - investigation of which led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by his administration. Nixon passed away on April 22, 1994, following a severe stroke.

Bernstein's music didn't really come to my attention until I was in high school, although I did hear some of his recordings when I was younger (e.g., Peter and the Wolf). Bernstein's recordings were my introduction to the works of both Aaron Copland and Gustav Mahler. I performed several of his compositions while I was going through undergrad - my favorite being the overture from Candide. For me, Bernstein's greatest legacy is as an educator and communicator - popularizing the world of classical music.
Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) was a world-renowned American composer, conductor, and long-term music director of the New York Philharmonic. He was one of the few 20th century conductors to gain super-star status, and won 16 Grammy awards (among other honors) over the course of his career. Bernstein passed away from a heart attack on October 14, 1990, just five days after announcing his retirement.
