Re: OT - This is serious

Did you see the special on him on PBS?  Very interesting.  The program
covered his good and bad points...and how he got in trouble politically. 
The second part of the program covered what he has accomplished since
leaving the office.  I was very impressed...one of the few who actually did
something after retirement.  I know it is a hard and stressful job but
there is life after it.
