	Nixon, Agnes
		Nixon's stories characteristically show both sides of the issues on which she focuses: of the teenage prostitute, the drug addict, even the wife beater.
		Nixon sees both sides, and usually has a third type of character--perhaps in a position similar to that of most viewers--who is pulled in both directions.
		Agnes Nixon, in her long and much-honored tenure as queen of soap opera, has created a treasure trove of characters and stories as rich as Aladdin's, tales from the deepest depths of our fears and the starriest heights of our dreams.

		But Agnes Nixon, a 1994 inductee into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame, is apparently ready to hang up her pen and call it a career.
		Nixon's career in daytime television began in 1968 when she created the story of the fictional town of Llanview, Pennsylvania.
		It was widely believed that Nixon had been brought back to raise the show's sagging ratings and to help All My Children honor its roots and remain on course with the vision Nixon had back in 1970 when she created the show.

		Nixon was one of the first to take advantage of the advent of video tape, which, in this case, allowed her to tape several hours at Odyssey House and edit it into a workable scene.
