A recent political spot on television has a brief message from former President Clinton speaking in support of now President Obama with Clinton offering his own time in the Oval Office as an example of leadership. Nothing surprising there even if the public memory associates the Clinton presidency with a foolish young woman and a lewd White House tryst. Similarly a quick recollection of President Richard Nixon will evoke the least important events of his time in office, perhaps the Watergate break-in and missing minutes on Whitehouse tapes. But how many will associate Nixon with the final break between the dollar and gold? Or the consequences of this break? So when I see an aging, white haired Clinton in a political ad I think not of ruined reputations and stained dresses but shattered and shortened lives that the role of then Governor Clinton has not been called to account for. The above article and books like " Bad Blood: Crisis in the American Red Cross" by Judith Reitman should serve as a cautionary tale against having our attention diverted by a frivolous and superficial news media. Any information of real worth to the public will require some sifting through the muck of what is called "news".

I know a woman whose daughter got some of that bad blood.

Her life has been a living hell.
