Trivia

Notwithstanding the moral of this story, it may not always be advantageous to be quite frank in presidential politics. Just 4 years earlier in the 1984 national election against Ronald Reagan, Walter Mondale said "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He will not tell you. I just did." Mondale lost in an electoral landslide.

Great

I enjoyed the story as it deals with crooked politicians and honesty and drugs.
