Nixon also opened our ties with china and most other asian countries, which strenghthened our economy and enabling it to grow to the size it is today.

As far as the most influential group in the past fifty years, i would have to say that Sam Cohen (the inventor of the nuclear bomb) has influenced our current political system more than any politician. Think about it, how many countries are we pissed off at because they have nuclear weapons, Iraq, Pakistan, N. Korean...the list goes on...

[edit: oegh, yea yur right. this is pre-wwII, then i guess i would have to go with either gorbachev or reagan, damn, cohen was a good one]
