Nixon visit sparks reactions from Iowa lawmakers and critics
A half dozen Gazette area legislators noted they never met a U.S. president until Nixon's Des Moines visit. They praised the moment but condemned protesters' profane conduct. Critics argued age composition in the Iowa legislature is not as elderly as some mocked, citing historical averages around the low 50s.
