    The Clinton Administration's prominent role in the funeral proceedings is yet another in a long list of ironies in Nixon's incredible career. As President, Nixon described students who protested the war as "terrorists." Clinton was one such protester while a student in Britain. Hillary Rodham Clinton worked as a staff attorney on the House committee that voted to impeach Nixon.
    Once Clinton was in office, however, the two men exchanged letters, phone calls and held private meetings. Clinton offered Nixon briefings on U.S. foreign policy, and Nixon presented reports on his foreign travels.
    When Clinton asked, Nixon vigorously lobbied members of Congress on behalf of increased aid to Russia. And as Nixon made his last trip to Russia in March, 1994, Clinton called to say that the former President's plans to meet with opponents of Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin would be "useful" to the White House, a calculation that later resulted in Yeltsin furiously refusing to see Nixon altogether.
