After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.

With any luck at all, the van should be all fixed, put back together and drivable this Saturday (1-5-08).
