'''Thelma Catherine''' "'''Pat'''" '''Ryan Nixon'''<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon">{{cite web |url=http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=38|title=First Lady Biography: Pat Nixon|accessdate= 2007-08-15|year= 2005|publisher= The National First Ladies Library}}</ref> (March 16, 1912 – June 22, 1993) was the wife of [[Richard Nixon]], 37th [[President of the United States]], and served as [[First Lady of the United States]] from 1969 to 1974. She was commonly known as '''Pat Nixon'''.


==Group Stage One==
Born in Nevada, Pat Ryan grew up in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[California]]. She graduated from high school in 1929, then attended [[Fullerton Junior College]] and later the [[University of Southern California]]. She paid for her schooling by working multiple jobs, including pharmacy manager, typist, and [[X-ray technician]]. In 1940, she married lawyer Richard Nixon; they had two daughters. Pat campaigned for her husband in his successful [[United States Congress|congressional]] campaigns of 1946 and 1948. Richard Nixon was elected [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] in the[[Dwight D. Eisenhower| Eisenhower]] administration, whereupon Pat undertook many missions of goodwill with her husband and gained favorable media coverage. She assisted her husband in both his unsuccessful [[United States presidential election, 1960|1960 presidential campaign]], and later in his successful [[United States presidential election, 1968|presidential campaign of 1968]].
===Format===
The five group winners along with the four best second-place teams will be placed into three groups hosted by Guadeloupe, Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago from 11 October - 9 November.<ref name="CONCACAFNews" />


===Teams that did not enter===
As First Lady, Pat Nixon promoted a number of charitable causes, including [[volunteerism]]. She oversaw the collection of more than 600 pieces of historic art and furnishings for the [[White House]], an acquisition larger than that of any other administration. Pat became the most traveled First Lady in U.S. history up to that time, visiting about 80 nations; she was the first First Lady to enter a combat zone. These trips gained her favorable reception in the media and the host countries. Her tenure ended when, after being re-elected in a [[United States presidential election, 1972|landslide victory in 1972]], President Nixon resigned two years later amid the [[Watergate scandal]].
Nine [[Caribbean Football Union|CFU]] teams did not enter, meaning 4 fewer participants than in the [[Caribbean Nations Cup 2006-07]] edition (This became 2 fewer participants, when 2 further teams withdrew ''during'' the 2006-07 tournament). Two teams withdrew before the tournament began ({{fb|French Guiana}} and {{fb|Sint Maarten}}), and the 7 other teams listed below participated only in [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)|World Cup Qualification]]):

Her public appearances became less frequent in her later life. She and her husband returned to [[California]], and later moved to [[New Jersey]]. Pat suffered two [[stroke]]s—one in 1976 and another in 1983—and was later diagnosed with [[lung cancer]] in the early 1990s. She died in 1993 aged 81.

==Early life==
Thelma Catherine Ryan was born in the small mining town of [[Ely, Nevada]], the day before [[St. Patrick's Day]]. Her father, William M.

==Education and career==
It has been said that few, if any, First Ladies worked as consistently before their marriage as did Pat Nixon.<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon"/> As she told the writer [[Gloria Steinem]] during the 1968 presidential campaign, "I never had it easy.

==Marriage and family==
Note: Matches originally scheduled for August 29th were pushed back until August 30th due to [[Hurricane Gustav]].
While in Whittier, Pat Ryan met a young lawyer fresh out of [[Duke University]] law school, [[Richard Nixon|Richard Milhous Nixon]]. The two became acquainted at a Little Theater group when they were cast together in ''[[The Dark Tower (play)|The Dark Tower]]''.<ref name="nyt-obit"/> Known as Dick, he asked Pat Ryan to marry him the first night they went out. "I thought he was nuts or something!" she recalled.<ref>{{cite news|title=Diplomat in High Heels: Thelma Ryan Nixon|work=The New York Times|date=July 28, 1959|page=11|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref> He courted the redhead he called his "wild Irish Gypsy" for two years,<ref>Marton, Kati (2001), p. 173</ref> even driving her to and from her dates with other men. Eventually they married at the [[Mission Inn]] in [[Riverside, California]] on June 21, 1940. She said that she had been attracted to the young Nixon because he "was going places, he was vital and ambitious&nbsp;... he was always doing things".<ref name= "PN is the Ultimate Good Sport"/> Later, referring to Richard Nixon, she said, "Oh but you just don’t realize how much fun he is! He’s just so much fun!"<ref name="os234"/> While Richard Nixon served in the [[U.S. Navy|Navy]] during [[World War II]], Pat worked as a government [[economist]] living in [[San Francisco]].<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon"/>


Veteran [[United Press International|UPI]] reporter [[Helen Thomas]] suggested that in public, the Nixons "moved through life ritualistically", but privately, however, they were "very close".<ref name="csa172"/> In private, Richard Nixon was described as being "unabashedly sentimental", often praising Pat for her work, remembering anniversaries and surprising her with frequent gifts.<ref name="csa172"/> During state dinners, he ordered the protocol changed so that Pat could be served first.<ref name="csa173">Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 173</ref> Pat, in turn, felt that her husband was vulnerable and sought to protect him.<ref name="csa173"/> Of his critics, she said that "Lincoln had worse critics. He was big enough not to let it bother him. That's the way my husband is."<ref name="csa173"/>


===Early campaigns===
Pat campaigned at her husband's side in 1946 when he entered politics, running successfully for a seat in the [[United States House of Representatives]]. That same year, she gave birth to a daughter and namesake, [[Patricia Nixon Cox|Patricia]], known as Tricia. In 1948, Pat had her second and last child, [[Julie Nixon Eisenhower|Julie]]. When asked about her husband's career, Pat once stated, "The only thing I could do was help him, but [politics] was not a life I would have chosen."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,942982,00.html|title=Pat Nixon: Steel and Sorrow|accessdate=2008-08-18|work=Time|date=August 19, 2008}}</ref> Pat participated in the campaign by doing research on his opponent, incumbent [[Jerry Voorhis]].<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon"/> She also wrote and distributed campaign literature.<ref name="Encyclopedia Brittanica">{{cite encyclopedia| title =The American Presidency| encyclopedia = Encyclopædia Britannica | publisher =Encyclopædia Britannica| year= 2007| accessdate = 2007-11-05}}</ref> Nixon was elected in his first campaign to represent [[California's 12th congressional district]]. During the next six years, Pat saw her husband move from the U.S. House of Representatives to the [[United States Senate]], and then be nominated as [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]]'s [[Vice President of the United States|vice president]]ial candidate.


Although Pat Nixon was a [[Methodist]], she and her husband attended whichever [[Protestant Church]] was nearest to their home, especially after moving to Washington. They attended the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church because it sponsored her daughters' Brownie troop, occasional [[Baptist]] services with the Reverend Dr. [[Billy Graham]], and [[Norman Vincent Peale]]'s Marble Collegiate Church.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,844670-2,00.html|title=A Worshiper in the White House|accessdate= 2007-10-08|date=6|year= 1968|month= December|publisher=Time|pages=1–2}}</ref>

During the [[United States presidential election, 1952|Presidential campaign of 1952]] Pat Nixon's attitude toward politics changed when her husband was accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions. Pat encouraged him to fight the charges, and he did so by delivering the famed "[[Checkers Speech]]", so-called for the family's dog, a [[cocker spaniel]] given them by a political supporter. This was Pat's first national television appearance, and she, her daughters, and the dog were featured prominently. Defending himself as a man of the people, Nixon said of his wife, "I should say this, that Pat doesn't have a [[mink]] coat. But she does have a respectable [[U.S. Republican Party|Republican]] cloth coat, and I always tell her she would look good in anything."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/34_eisenhower/psources/ps_checkers.html|title=Richard Nixon's Checkers Speech|accessdate=2007-11-05|year=2002–2003|publisher=PBS}}</ref><ref>In 1968, however, a fashion writer of ''The New York Times'' noted that Pat Nixon had purchased a coat made of blonde mink and one of brown-and-black [[Persian lamb]] by the furrier Sidney Fink of Blum & Fink. {{cite news|author=Curtis, Charlotte|title=Fashion Spotlight Turns to New First Family|work=The New York Times|date=December 21, 1968|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref>

A November 1, 1958 article in the ''[[Seattle Times]]'' was typical of the media's favorable coverage of the future First Lady, stating that "Mrs. Nixon is always reported to be gracious and friendly. And she sure is friendly. She greets a stranger as a friend. She doesn't just shake hands but clasps a visitor's hand in both her hands. Her manner is direct&nbsp;... Mrs. Nixon also upheld her reputation of always looking neat, no matter how long her day has been." A year and a half later, during her husband's campaign for the presidency, ''[[The New York Times]]'' called her "a paragon of wifely virtues" whose "efficiency makes other women feel slothful and untalented".<ref>{{cite news|author=Bender, Marylin|title=Pat Nixon: A Diplomat in High Heels|work=The New York Times|date=July 28, 1960|page=31|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref>

Vice President Nixon ran for President of the United States in [[United States presidential election, 1960|1960]] against then-Senator [[John F. Kennedy]].

==Group Stage Two==
Six years later, Richard Nixon ran again for the presidency.

===Summary===
==First Lady of the United States, 1969–1974==
===Major initiatives===
===Group F===
Played in [[Guadeloupe]] from October 11-15.
Pat Nixon felt that the First Lady should always set a public example of high virtue as a symbol of dignity, but she refused to revel in the trappings of the position.<ref name="csa165">Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 165</ref> When considering ideas for a project as First Lady, Pat refused to do (or be) something simply to emulate her predecessor, [[Lady Bird Johnson]].<ref>Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 168</ref> She decided to continue what she called "personal diplomacy", which meant traveling and visiting people in other states or other nations.<ref>Eisenhower, Julie Nixon (1986), p. 254</ref>

One of her major initiatives as First Lady was the promotion of volunteerism, in which she encouraged Americans to address social problems at the local level through volunteering at hospitals, civic organizations, and rehabilitation centers.<ref name= "PN Biography: Richard Nixon Library">{{cite web |url=http://www.nixonfoundation.org/index.php?src=gendocs&link=PNbio|title=Biography of First Lady Pat Nixon|accessdate= 2007-10-08|year= 2005|publisher= Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation}}</ref> She stated, "Our success as a nation depends on our willingness to give generously of ourselves for the welfare and enrichment of the lives of others."<ref name="csa177">Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 177</ref> She undertook a "Vest Pockets for Volunteerism" trip, where she visited ten different volunteer programs.<ref name="csa177"/> Susan Porter, in charge of the First Lady's scheduling, noted that Pat "saw volunteers as unsung heroes who hadn't been encouraged or given credit for their sacrifices and who needed to be".<ref name="csa177"/> Her second volunteerism tour—she traveled {{convert|4130|mi|km|0}} within the United States—helped to boost the notion that not all students were protesting the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>Anthony, C.

The First Lady had long been irritated with the perception that the White House was exclusively for the wealthy and famous:<ref name="csa188">Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 188</ref> she would routinely come down from the family quarters to greet tourists, shake hands, sign autographs, and pose for photos.<ref name="csa187"/> She opened the White House for evening tours so that the public could see the interior design work that had been implemented. In addition, she instituted a series of performances by artists at the White House in varied American traditions, from opera to [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]]; among the guests were [[The Carpenters]] in 1972. These events, however, were described as ranging from "creative to indifferent, to downright embarrassing".<ref name= "PN is the Ultimate Good Sport"/> When they entered the White House in 1969, the Nixons began inviting families to non-denominational Sunday church services in the [[East Room]] of the White House.<ref name="csa188"/> Mrs. Nixon also oversaw the White House wedding of her daughter, Tricia, to Edward Ridley Finch Cox in 1971.<ref>{{cite news|author=Krebs, Alvin|title=More on the Wedding|work=The New York Times|date=May 11, 1972|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref>

Pat Nixon held the record as the most-traveled First Lady before [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]].<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon"/> In President Nixon's first term, Pat traveled to 39 of 50 states, and in the first year alone, shook hands with a quarter of a million people.<ref>O'Brien, C.; Suteski, M. (2005), p. 239</ref> She undertook many missions of goodwill to foreign nations as well. Her first foreign trip took in Guam, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Romania, and England.<ref name="csa171">Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 171</ref> On such trips, Pat refused to be serviced by an entourage, feeling that they were an unnecessary barrier and a burden for taxpayers.<ref name="csa171"/> Soon after, during a trip to [[South Vietnam]], Pat became the first First Lady to enter a combat zone.<ref name= "First Lady Pat Nixon"/> She had tea with the wife of President [[Nguyễn Văn Thiệu]] in a palace, visited an orphanage, and lifted off in an open-door helicopter—armed by military guards with machine guns—to witness U.S. troops fighting in a jungle below.<ref name="csa171"/> She would later admit to experiencing a "moment of fear going into a battle zone", because, as author and historian Carl Sferrazza Anthony noted, "Pat Nixon was literally in a line of fire."<ref name="csa171"/> She later visited an army hospital, where, for two hours, she walked through the wards and spoke with each wounded patient.<ref name="csa172">Anthony, C.

After hearing in 1970 about an earthquake causing an avalanche and additional destruction in [[Peru]], Pat initiated a "volunteer American relief drive" and flew to the country, where she aided in taking relief supplies to earthquake victims.<ref>Anthony, C.

One Peruvian official commented: "Her coming here meant more than anything else President Nixon could have done,"<ref name="csa187"/> and an editorial in Peru's ''Lima Prensa'' said that Peruvians could never forget Pat Nixon.<ref name="csa187">Anthony, C.

===Group Stage===
The fashion press tends to take special interest in First Ladies. The traditional role of a First Lady as the nation's hostess puts her personal appearance and style under scrutiny, and the attention to Mrs. Nixon was lively. ''[[Women's Wear Daily]]'' stated that Pat had a "good figure and good posture", as well as "the best-looking legs of any woman in public life today".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,900581,00.html|title=Redoing Pat|accessdate=2008-07-25|work=Time|date=January 24, 1969}}</ref> Some fashion writers tended to have a lackluster opinion of her well tailored, but nondescript, American-made clothes. "I consider it my duty to use American designers", she said,<ref>{{cite news|author=Weinman, Martha|title=First Ladies—In Fashion, Too?|work=The New York Times|date=September 11, 1960}}</ref> and favored them because, "they are now using so many materials which are great for traveling because they're non crushable".<ref>Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 192</ref> She preferred to buy readymade garments rather than made-to-order outfits. "I'm a size 10," she told ''[[The New York Times]]''. "I can just walk in and buy. I've bought things in various stores in various cities. Only some of my clothes are by designers."<ref name="cc-nyt"/> She did, however, wear the custom work of some well-known talents, notably [[Geoffrey Beene]], at the suggestion of Clara Treyz, her personal shopper.<ref name="cc-nyt"/> Many fashion observers concluded that Pat Nixon did not greatly advance the cause of American fashion. Nixon's yellow-satin inaugural gown by Harvey Berin was criticized as "a schoolteacher on her night out", but Treyz defended her wardrobe selections by saying, "Mrs. Nixon must be ladylike."<ref>{{cite news|title=Pat's Wardrobe Mistress|work=Time|date=January 12, 1970|accessdate=2007-11-09|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,942153-2,00.html}}</ref><ref>Nixon also frequently wore wigs that replicated her short blonde hairstyle, especially on political trips when access to a hairdresser would be difficult. {{cite news|author=Curtis, Charlotte|title=Pat Nixon: 'Creature Comforts Don't Matter'|work=The New York Times|date=July 3, 1968|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref>

Pat did not sport the outrageous fashions of the 1970s, because she was concerned about appearing conservatively dressed, especially as her husband's political star rose. "Always before, it was sort of fun to get some&nbsp;... thing that was completely different, high-style", she told a reporter. "But this is not appropriate now. I avoid the spectacular."<ref>Eisenhower, Julie Nixon (1986), p. 187</ref>

Pat Nixon did not know of the secret tape recordings her husband had made. [[Julie Nixon Eisenhower]] stated that the First Lady would have ordered the tapes destroyed immediately, had she known of their existence.<ref>Eisenhower, Julie Nixon (1986), pp. 409–410</ref> Once she did learn of the tapes, she vigorously opposed making them public, and compared them to "private love letters—for one person alone".<ref>Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 214</ref> Believing in her husband's innocence, she also encouraged him not to resign and instead fight all the impeachment charges that were eventually leveled against him. She said to her friend Helene Drown, "Dick has done so much for the country. Why is this happening?"<ref>Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 215</ref>

After President Nixon told his family he would resign the office of the presidency, Mrs. Nixon replied, "But why?"<ref>Anthony, C. S.

Nixon: White House Farewell|accessdate= 2007-09-23|publisher=The History Place}}</ref> The First Lady could hardly contain her tears; she was most upset about the cameras, because they recorded her anguish, as they had during the 1960 election defeat. The Nixons walked onto the Executive Mansion's South Lawn with Vice President [[Gerald Ford]] and [[Betty Ford]] to ''[[Marine One]]''. As they walked, Pat, with one arm around her husband's waist and one around Betty's, said to Betty, "You'll see many of these red carpets, and you'll get so you hate 'em."<ref>Anthony, C. S.

Author Carl Sferrazza Anthony noted that ordinary citizens responded to Pat.<ref name="csa187"/> When a group of rural people visited the White House to present a quilt to the First Lady, many were overcome with nervousness; upon hearing their weeping, Pat hugged each individual tightly, and the tension dissipated.<ref name="csa187"/> When a young boy doubted that the Executive Mansion was her house because he could not see the washing machine, Pat led him through the halls and up an elevator, into the family quarters and the laundry room.<ref name="csa187"/> She mixed well with different races, and made no racial distinction between anyone.<ref name="csa197"/> During the Nixons' trip to China in 1972, foreign minister [[Zhou En-lai]] became so smitten with her that he gave two rare [[giant panda]]s to the ambassador as a gift from China.<ref name="csa199200"/>

According to ''Time'' magazine, "She was such the perfect wife and mother—pressing [her husband's] pants, making dresses for daughters Tricia and Julie, doing her own housework even as the Vice President's wife—that she was tagged 'Plastic Pat.'"<ref>{{cite news|title=The Woman in the Cloth Coat|author=Angelo, Bonnie|accessdate=2008-08-22|date=July 5, 1993|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,978822,00.html|work=Time}}</ref> The derogatory nickname was applied to her because, according to critics, she was always smiling while her face rarely expressed emotion<ref>{{cite web|url=http://millercenter.org/academic/americanpresident/nixon/essays/firstlady|title=Thelma Nixon|accessdate=2008-07-25|publisher=Miller Center of Public Affairs|year=2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.www.theracquet.net/media/storage/paper978/news/2008/03/12/Spotlight/Secrets.Will.Be.Shared.In.OneWoman.Show.Lady.Bird.Pat.Betty.Tea.For.Three.At.To-3263920.shtml|title=Secrets will be shared in one-woman show, Lady Bird, Pat & Betty: Tea for Three at Toland theatre|author=Schmitz, Justin|publisher=University of Wisconsin|accessdate=2008-07-25|date=March 12, 2008}}</ref> and her body language made her seem reserved, and at times, artificial.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wnyc.org/books/56606|title=Between You and Me|author=Wallace, Mike|accessdate=2008-08-22|publisher=WNYC Radio|year=2005}}</ref> Some observers described Pat Nixon as "a paper doll, a [[Barbie doll]]—plastic, antiseptic, unalive" and that she "has put every bit of the energy and drive of her youth into playing a role, and she may no longer recognize it as such".<ref name= "PN is the Ultimate Good Sport"/> As for the criticisms, she said, "I am who I am and I will continue to be."<ref name= "PN is the Ultimate Good Sport"/>

To many, Pat was seen as an example of the "[[American Dream]]", with her greatest popularity being with the "great silent majority" of voters.<ref name="csa201"/> Mary Brooks, the director of the [[United States Mint]], described the First Lady as "a good example to the women of this country",<ref name= "PN is the Ultimate Good Sport"/> but despite her largely demure public persona as a traditional wife and homemaker, Pat was not as self-effacing and timid as her critics often claimed. When a news photographer wanted her to strike yet another pose while wearing an apron, she firmly responded, "I think we've had enough of this kitchen thing, don't you?"<ref>{{cite news|author=Toner, Robin|title=Running Mates|work=The New York Times|date=February 2, 1997|accessdate=2007-11-09}}</ref> Columnist [[Robert Thompson]] commented that Pat was an ideal balance for the 1970s, writing that she proved that "women can play a vital role in world affairs" while still retaining a "feminine manner".<ref name="csa201"/> But others who opposed the Vietnam War identified her with the Nixon administration's policies, and, as a result, occasionally picketed her speaking events. After she had spoken to some of them, one student told the press that "she wanted to listen. I felt like this is a woman who really cares about what we are doing. I was surprised."<ref>Anthony, C. S. (1991), p. 182</ref>

After returning to [[San Clemente, California]] in 1974 and settling into the Nixons' home, ''[[La Casa Pacifica]]'', Mrs. Nixon rarely appeared in public and only granted occasional interviews to the press.
