 The Nixon family traveled to Europe in 1963 , where Nixon gave press conferences and met with leaders of the countries he visited . The family moved to New York City , where Nixon became a senior partner in the leading law firm Nixon , Mudge , Rose , Guthrie & Alexander . Nixon had pledged , when announcing his California campaign , not to run for president in 1964 ; even if he had not , he believed it would be difficult to defeat Kennedy , or after his assassination , Kennedy 's successor , Lyndon Johnson . In 1964 , he supported Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater for the Republican nomination for president ; when Goldwater was successful in gaining the nomination , Nixon was selected to introduce the candidate to the convention . Although he thought Goldwater unlikely to win , Nixon campaigned for him loyally . The election was a disaster for the Republicans ; Goldwater 's landslide loss to Johnson was matched by heavy losses for the party in Congress and among state governors .

 On August 10 , 1979 , the Nixons purchased a New York City townhouse at 817 Fifth Avenue after being rejected by two Manhattan co @-@ ops . When the former Shah of Iran died in Egypt in July 1980 , Nixon defied the State Department , which intended to send no U.S. representative , by attending the funeral . Though Nixon had no official credentials , as a former president he was seen as the American presence at its former ally 's funeral . Nixon supported Ronald Reagan for president in 1980 , making television appearances portraying himself as , in biographer Stephen Ambrose 's words , " the senior statesman above the fray " . He wrote guest articles for many publications both during the campaign and after Reagan 's victory . After eighteen months in the New York City townhouse , Nixon and his wife moved in 1981 to Saddle River , New Jersey .

 Nixon 's early life was marked by hardship , and he later quoted a saying of Eisenhower to describe his boyhood : " We were poor , but the glory of it was we didn 't know it " . The Nixon family ranch failed in 1922 , and the family moved to Whittier , California . In an area with many Quakers , Frank Nixon opened a grocery store and gas station . Richard 's younger brother Arthur died in 1925 after a short illness . At the age of twelve , Richard was found to have a spot on his lung and , with a family history of tuberculosis , he was forbidden to play sports . Eventually , the spot was found to be scar tissue from an early bout of pneumonia .

 The family 's frequent moves later spawned accusations that Chester Arthur was not a native @-@ born citizen of the United States . When Arthur was nominated for vice president in 1880 , a New York attorney and political opponent , Arthur P. Hinman , initially speculated that Arthur was born in Ireland and did not come to the United States until he was fourteen years old . Had that been true , opponents might have argued that Arthur was constitutionally ineligible for the vice presidency under the United States Constitution 's natural @-@ born @-@ citizen clause . When Hinman 's original story did not take root , he spread a new rumor that Arthur was born in Canada . This claim , too , failed to gain credence .

 Nixon was discharged from the Navy at the start of 1946 . Within days , he and his wife Pat Nixon , the latter almost eight months pregnant , returned to Whittier . They initially moved in with the candidate 's parents , Frank and Hannah . Nixon returned to his old law firm , but spent most of his time campaigning . Roy Day , chairman of the now @-@ dissolved Committee , appointed himself as Nixon 's campaign manager . This self @-@ appointment dismayed the candidate somewhat , and Nixon unsuccessfully sought to replace Day .
