Yes. While Checkers was Nixon's most famous dog, by the time Nixon got
to the White House, Checkers was long gone. While President, Nixon's
dog was King Timahoe. Tricia had a Yorkie named Pasha, and Julie had a
poodle named Vickie.

Pascha is the Greek Orthodox name for Easter.

"the Red Squad"

Red Squads are police intelligence units that specialize in
infiltrating, conducting counter-measures and gathering intelligence
on political and social groups. Dating as far back as the Haymarket
Riot in 1886, Red Squads became common in larger cities such as
Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles during the First Red Scare of the
1920s. They were set up as specialized units of city police
departments, as a weapon against labor unions, communists, anarchists,
and other dissidents.
