There is no direct evidence to suggest that Helen Gahagan derived the term "Tricky Dick" from James Joyce's "Dubliners." The nickname was more likely associated with Richard Nixon during his political career. Helen Gahagan was a political opponent of Nixon's and used the term in a famous 1950 Senate race against him in California.
