Question

In a novel, a stand-in for this real-life person works as a night manager at the Orpheus Theatre and crusades against the harmonica players who are hurting his business. After meeting this person as a girl, Tricia writes a letter to him “in hell” in the first story of a 2022 collection by Gish Jen. This person mocks (15[1])the smoking habit of his “youth affairs” expert Walter F. Starbuck in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Jailbird. This person’s one-word question “What?” serves as the (*) epigraph for the final section of Gravity’s (10[1])Rainbow. This person urges a crowd to “drop [their] pants for America” (-5[1])and is sodomized by Uncle Sam in the novel The Public Burning. In Watchmen, (10[1])this person serves five straight terms after (10[1])Doctor Manhattan wins him a war. For 10 points, name this president whose reelection bid is detailed in Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail (10[1])’72. ■END■

ANSWER: Richard Nixon [or Richard Milhous Nixon] (The first sentence refers to Richard M. Zhlubb from Gravity’s Rainbow. The Gish Jen collection is Thank You, Mr. Nixon.)
