Rumsfeld is 5'7" according to Wiki. I would have guessed that he is much taller.
Aspartame becomes a poison when it reaches 85 degrees F or higher.
The human body is 98.6 degrees F.
Don’t put poison into your body.
Shame on Mr. Rumsfeld for getting this passed the FDA.

Tomatoes are poisonous too, but they're still mighty yummy w/bacon & lettuce !
An important point Ransom doesn’t address is whether today’s high school student could have that same job of driving a hotel van on the airport run. I think the answer is clearly NO and big government Pubbies, like Rumsfeld, are part of the reason why a similarly-situated teenager would not have that job. The times Ransom recalls were the Carter years and “normal” was becoming a fading memory with only a brief and spotty respite under Reagan.
Ransom’s best point in the column is the one about companies repatriating money held overseas for tax avoidance purposes. Removing that block could be the kickstart needed in the same way Searle had to do that.
I started work at G.D. Searle in early 1975 as a “research investigator” looking for new screening models for potential new drugs. At the time the joke was that the best way to hurt our competition was to “let them steal our best ideas”. The FDA hit us very soon after I was hired and I had to move from “pioneering research” to drug development to stay employed. I too thank Mr. Rumsfeld for keeping the core pharmaceutical company together. One of the things he did to get to know the company and improve moral was to invite groups of around 20 “exempt” employees to his house to “get to know us”. He and his wife were very gracious hosts and seemed to actually like mingling, unlike several of his sucessors. Again, thank you Mr. Rumsfeld.

... there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.
