Today's revelation that Carters re-election was sabotaged by Republicans is revealed by the guy who knows who did it. While our President was just about to conclude a deal that would have released the Iran hostages, a Republican operative was undermining that effort. Here's the story (paywall bypassed):

Jennifer Finney’s article was a perfect reminiscence of what those times were like for many of us who were coming of age then – the search for the morality of our nation, hampered by the reality of its baser greed for the superficial. Bon Voyage, Mr. President. Thank you for your service. Thank you from the bottom of my troubled, creaking heart.
