	The Longest Day
		Richardson was hours away from ringing in the darkest period of Richard Nixon's presidency by quitting as attorney general during the Saturday Night Massacre.
		It was an ambiguous moment when Richardson acted -- a time of doubt about the president's guilt, of concern that the scandal was undermining his authority abroad, of the seeming isolation of the special prosecutor -- and it was his unambiguous action that gave the crisis some of the moral clarity we recall today.
		Richardson was slow to criticize Nixon, and he was wry about his fame, saying that sometimes he felt like a walking anticlimax.
