Today's photo shows Vice President Richard Nixon speaking at the 1953 National Boy Scout Jamboree, which was held on the Irvine Ranch in what is now Newport Beach. Nixon has a beard because he spent the night sleeping in a tent at the Jamboree and didn't get a chance to shave. Click on the photo to enlarge it and peer into the background. (The photo again comes from the O.C. Archives' new Flickr account - which should have more additions as the week wears on.)
