That hes not accommodated to the idea of who he is, the opposite of lincoln. When gerald ford became president , the next year, one of the things he said, again, contradicting nixon, he said none of our problems today are as severe as those facing lincoln. He quoted one of the things lincoln said in one of fords kind of natural spontaneous statements of humility. He said, oh, lincoln fords in a dispute with congress. He said, well, lincoln said the following. We of the congress in this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. Ford also said, of lincoln, that his compassion, lincolns compassion for others came from an understanding of himself. I think the kind of merging somewhat of the pragmatism and the strategic sense of what the country needs, excellent example of this is gerald ford. I remember it was september 1974. Ford had been president about one month. And he went on television. Some of you may remember this. And gave said he was giving nixon a full pardon for
Plaquers left on the scene. Look at the scene from earlier today. A terrible story. We understand, we were told by the chief of police is a group from a home here. A group home for special needs residents had left their house just up the block and were walking down to a basketball court. They were going to play some basketball. They came across two people in a car. For some reason or another, words were exchanged. According to Prince Georges County chief of police, one of the residents of the group home doesnt respond real well. And someone in car pulls out a gun. Opens fire. And hits that man in his 20s. That man runs just a little ways before he drops to the ground. Police say, this is an important note. Someone who was with the shooter was apparently horrified by what happened. Got out of the shooters car. Actually ran to the victim to and made comments that were heard in the neighborhood about how horrified that person was by the shooting. Police want that person to come forward. T

Day in may. Just like this morning and the spring was in full bloom. I had taken a train and the last leg was on a smaller train which was the princeton to Princeton Junction that took the right to the campus. I happen to be reading of book by f. Scott fitzgerald called this side of paradise. About life there princeton in it is absolutely a magical book for me. I cannot even read two smell. Cannot read even two paragraphs now. But at the time it was magical i finished it just as the train pulled into the station. Princeton is as cute as a button. Finishing just as the train pulls then and i walk up to the campus and i remember thinking there is absolutely nothing in the world that i would rather do than to write like scott fitzgerald. It was all downhill from there. For the next 15 years i wrote a bunch of fiction and publish some of it, got a graduate fellowship call mom fellowship, but none of what i did was much good unfortunately. Not great stuff. I worked, i had jobs was a banker
