Agnew, Spiro 1918- .
US vice president 1969-73. A Republican, he
was governor of Maryland 1966-69, and vice
president under Nixon. He took the lead in a
campaign against the press and opponents of
the Vietnam war. Although he was one of the
few administration officials not to be
implicated in the Watergate affair, he
resigned in 1973, shortly before pleading `no
contest' to a charge of income-tax evasion.
