A revamped Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum opened its doors today in Yorba Linda, Calif., under the auspices, for the first time, of the National Archives and Records Administration. After years of controversial private control, the library, with its first federally appointed director, joins 11 other presidential libraries as part of the federal system. To mark the occasion, the National Archives released some 78,000 pages of what it described as “previously restricted documents focusing on political activities of Richard Nixon and the Nixon administration” and 11½ hours of taped conversations that touch on the 1972 elections and Nixon’s plans for his second term. —Jennifer Howard
