Why aren't they as apt to be right as the Nixon library?

The Nixon library is THE Nixon library, not just A Nixon library <g>.

For general information: www.nixonlibrary.org

For reference questions: [e-mail]

The Assistant Archivist is Beverly Lindy.

If you have different quotes, why not bundle them up, and submit them to each of the libraries, and see how they resolve it? <g> Let's just hope they don't trust to "memory" as we do!

p.s. I just checked the MIT link you gave. That is merely an article by Hoyt Bleakley. He could easily have mis-typed or mis-remembered the quote he used. I did not check your other sites, but having an archivist check a quote, especially when that library has the original documents, or copies of them, gives it a lot more credibility for me.

The truth be known, between NW, LG and me, I remembered it as "won't", not "don't", and as "Nixon", but I don't trust my memory enough to post when there is Google around <g>.
