01 Nov 1972, USA --- Vice President of the United States, Spiro Agnew, held the position from 1969 to 1973 under President Richard M. Nixon. In 1972 Nixon was re-elected in one of the biggest landslide election victories in U.S. political history, defeating the democrat George McGovern with Agnew as vice-president. Nine months later, on October 10, 1973, Spiro Agnew resigned after pleading no contest to a charge of income tax evasion. The move foreshadowed Nixon's own fall. --- Image by © JP Laffont
