    * “They had a choice‚ all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father‚ or President Truman. Decent men‚ who believed in a day’s work for a day’s pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn’t realize that the tail led over a precipice until it was too late.
