TRUMP-NIXON LETTERS: There were two men in 1980s Manhattan who craved validation — one a past president, one a future president.

Their letters were shared exclusively with the Associated Press ahead of an exhibit that opens Thursday at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum. SENT: 1300 words, photos.

ELECTION 2020-BIDEN-ALWAYS LATE: With their packed schedules, relish for meeting as many people as possible and natural tendency toward verbosity, most presidential candidates - and the commanders in chief they sometimes become - rarely get anywhere, or do anything, on time.
