Page "Spiro Agnew" Paragraph 19

Agnew soon found his role as the voice of the so-called " silent majority ", and by late 1969 he was ranking high on national " Most Admired Men " polls.

He also inspired a fashion craze when one entrepreneur introduced Spiro Agnew watches ( a take off on the popular Mickey Mouse watch ); conservatives wore them to show their support for Agnew, while many liberals wore them to signify their contempt.
