    We all know Nixon won re election in 1972 and resigned in Aug 1974. However, what many people forget is that during the height of Watergate in April 1973 a Gallup Poll showed Agnew leading all others as the favorite to be the party's next Republican nominee in 1976. Agnew 35% Reagan 20% John Connally 15% Nelson Rockefeller 11%. We all know everything changed when Agnew resigned in Oct of 1973. Just imagine if he took over for Nixon instead of Ford in 1974 and the so called bribes he took while Governor of MD stayed hidden. Spiro likely would have ran in 1976. Would Reagan have challenged him for the nomination ? Maybe. Could Carter have beaten Agnew or Reagan with a unified GOP party in the General Election?. It makes you wonder how history might have turned out so much differently.

    I'm 90 years old and remember S.T. A. VERY WELL. To ME he was THE GOOD GUY who got a very bad deal. In HIS case, the evil people won.

    Sad thing is he was right. I cannot imagine what he would think of the media today.

      No one can believe what the media has been reduced to today. They no longer report the news. They are advocates. It is now beyond bias.

    What's crazy to me is this was a mere 25 years after the end of WW2.

    There's the head of the snake - that code talk. Viewers believe they're speaking as the viewers would. So I wonder if Thailand had a good time or..? Did it thrive? I'm on my way to find the [ grown ] kids of this and ask them. That's what to do- close the gaps.

    I don't like the rhythmic contesting between these as speakers to the people and one another. That's part of what runs me off tv. Contesting viewers... ouch.

    Yes! Middle Americans are trapped between extremists. I don't know how to help them. I've felt they way the feel and I'm past the thought. Tourism isn't new in my life, it's boring, old and obnoxiously over pronounced. That said, I sure wish ida known to touch in here years ago. This place is over rode. Where do the buses stop to eat the pudding? Are there any meats?
    Well, forcing everyone to mix works for the nuxers of us, but it's old by the time we're 30. That's it. Retired and Tran's the man so put them through it. I'd take the tan bus with a few extremes the other way. That's loving on my eyes.
    Did these gentlemen get they're leads from TV stations or radio societies? If yes that would explain some things. They don't know us yet. Beings absentee who drop a notice of showtime and run ,.well, that's taken some time from us hasn't it?
