Gerald Ford
Former President Gerald Ford is dead at 93.
Mark K. Updegrove writing at SFGate.com reports that Ford wished to be remembered as a ‘healer and a builder’
The New York Times article called Ford ‘an accidental President’. The Times goes further and says that ‘…he was everything his predecessor was not — transparent and largely content with life as he found it. His many friends saw him as plain old “Jerry,” a get-along, go-along product of the House of Representatives whose self-assurance and modest ambitions perfectly suited a country that wanted little more than a few months’ rest’. Indeed.
Lots of happy praise all about it seems. To get a slightly different angle you might try the story from Peace, Earth and Justice News. You won’t quite believe your eyes at who is to be seen in the article’s accompanying picture. PEJ.org decidedly brings you another view of Ford and the Nixon-Ford complex.
