congratulations again, Tom. this was one of the most brilliant summaries of that history in a short space I've ever seen. I can't think of a single important thing you missed. However, the really significant legislative New Deal-style accomplishments of the Johnson administration during the Civil Rights movement need a mention. and oh yeah, there's the almost-certainly-treasonous deal Nixon made during his 1968 campaign certainly counts as another strike against that not-quite-slippery-enough prick. reading it back to myself, that last bit feels a little too "graphic" for my empty stomach, which probably means I shouldn't touch it. again, thanks. it's a really excellent thing to consider you a friend.

Actually, the Chennault Affair is going to be compared with Reagan's 1980 treason this weekend.
