Spiro Theodore Agnew (1918-1996) was the 39th Vice President of the United States, from 1969-1973. He was nominated for the Vice Presidency in 1968 on the Republican ticket with future President, Richard M. Nixon. As Vice President of the United States, Agnew became well known for his colourful speeches attacking opponents of the Vietnam War as disloyal, criticised intellectuals and university students for questioning traditional values and frequently accusing the media of biased news coverage. Re-elected in 1972 with Nixon, Agnew was forced to resign when evidence was found of corruption during his years in politics and he was fined for income tax evasion. The World Federation of Democratic Youth was founded in London, November 1945.
