When Maryland got a commitment from quarterback Perry Hills from Pittsburgh's Central Catholic, it may not have known it was getting a package deal. Hills talked up the school to his close friend and high school teammate - defensive back Anthony Nixon. Nixon committed to the Terps after Hills did. Even more surprising:  both are starting in their freshman seasons. Nixon did a capable job filling in last week for injured strong safety Matt Robinson (groin). We'll learn more about Robinson's status when Thursday's injury report comes out. But suffice it to say Nixon may be summoned again for Saturday's game at Virginia.

WASHINGTON - Ron Ziegler, the White House press secretary who dismissed the 1972 Watergate break-in as a "third-rate burglary" and spent the rest of his tenure trying with denials to save Richard M. Nixon's presidency, was essentially a messenger boy. Mr. Ziegler, who died Monday at 63, attended countless insider meetings at which strategies for dealing with a host of important domestic policy matters were discussed. And although he sometimes put in his 2 cents, he was basically the man assigned to pass the word - first to a press corps Mr. Nixon considered the enemy and later to key aides Mr. Nixon didn't want to face with bad news.

George K. McKinney, who was the first African-American to be appointed U.S. marshal for the District of Maryland, and whose career in federal service spanned more than four decades, died June 17 of leukemia at his Northwest Baltimore home. He was 77. "It is with deep sadness that I acknowledge the passing of my dear friend, retired U.S. marshal George K. McKinney," Rep. Elijah E. Cummings said in a statement. "George held the distinct honor of being the only African-American appointed U.S. marshal to two different jurisdictions by two different presidents.

First things first: ''Third-rate burglary'' isn't what it was.''Third-rate burglary'' is what the perps and the plotters and the apologists tried to label it, hoping the country would pay it no mind. What it was was the tip of a ghastly iceberg -- and once upon a time, it nearly sank the ship of state.He's gone now, Richard Nixon. The man who always looked so uncomfortable in his own skin is finally free of it, his great conflicted soul bound for points unknown.Put aside the red-baiting and commie-bashing that first set him on the path to the White House.

Chicago. -- Repeatedly, just when Richard Nixon seems ready to mount up to a position of restored reputation and honor, an older self comes scampering out of the gutter to remind us of his real nature. The latest such betrayal of Richard Nixon by Richard Nixon was revealed by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker.What earned headlines was the news that Mr. Nixon commissioned E. Howard Hunt -- working through Charles Colson -- to obstruct justice for political ends when Gov. George Wallace was shot.

  2012 marks the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China, a diplomatic triumph that realigned American foreign policy. Since Nixon's trip, U.S.-China relations have been managed from the uppermost echelons of the executive branch of the federal government. Yet they have also been sustained and strengthened at the state and local level, as evidenced by Maryland's China diplomacy. Forty years ago this month, Maryland began its engagement with China by becoming the site of an iconic exchange in sports diplomacy, a groundbreaking ping-pong match between China and the U.S. The event was held at theUniversity of Maryland, College Parkon April 17, 1972, less than two months after President Nixon's return from China.

Pittsburgh Central Catholic teammates Perry Hills and Anthony Nixon will play for Maryland next season, and they gave local fans a peek at their abilities Friday night. Hills, a quarterback, ran for 81 yards in the first quarter and threw a touchdown pass that was set up by a Nixon interception as the North jumped in front early and rolled to a 28-17 victory over the South in the second Chesapeake Bowl at South River. Hills, who committed to Maryland earlier this year, helped the North offense score 21 points in the first quarter.

With a three-star ranking and a spot on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's list of Pennsylvania's Top 30 football prospects, Anthony Nixon was a well-known commodity heading into his senior season. So how did the Maryland commitment handle his high-profile status this fall? “He lived up to everything he was supposed to be,” said Terry Totten , Nixon's coach at Pittsburgh Central Catholic. “He was fantastic. A great football player.” Nixon, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound safety and wide receiver, was a versatile performer all season long for the Vikings.

The championship hopes of Perry Hills and Anthony Nixon ended Friday night. Hills, a Maryland-bound quarterback, hooked up with Pittsburgh Central Catholic teammate Nixon, a Terps wide receiver pledge, in the first quarter of a Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League semifinal matchup. Hills, who had passed for over 1,500 yards this fall, and Anthony Nixon, who had over 600 yards receiving, hooked up for Central's first score, a 7-yard TD pass with 7:54 to play in the first frame.

Almost midnight in America ... As citizens camp out on the streets of American cities to try and express their anger and frustration at the way the country and his administration have failed them, President Obama goes on TV to trade scripted quips with the always-safe Jay Leno. But first, he hops into San Francisco on Air Force One to pick up a cool million at a campaign fund raiser. A few months into Obama's presidency, I wrote two things about his media behavior that have only become more pronounced in recent months.

It was eight days before the fourth installment of Baltimore Fashion Week, and suddenly Sharan Nixon had no place to hold it. In a couple of days a crew from New York City was scheduled to arrive to erect a 16,000-square-foot tent. “Wow, I have all these people wanting to be a part of my event and I still don't have a place to hold it,” she said as she selected clothes from Cold Water Creek, which was scheduled to present a line at her event. An initial agreement with the Harbor East neighborhood had just fallen through - Nixon alleges that H&S Properties Development Corp., the group responsible for developing the area, dragged its feet getting her a lease.

Gary Nixon, an Andarko, Okla., native, was on his way to becoming a respectable baseball player when he was conked in the head by a teammate's swinging bat, and decided he better find a safer sport. He turned to drag racing and was a champion racer by age 15. He had gotten his license a year earlier. Nixon then abandoned that sport and began racing motorcycles professionally, and by 1958, was Oklahoma State Scrambles Champion. He was 18. Sharp-eyed readers like Jim Holechek, a retired Baltimore public relations executive and author who was a longtime friend of Nixon's and a motorcycle riding buddy, saw an item in last weekend's Baltimore Sun sports section reporting the Motorcycle Hall of Famer's death.
