Unlikely that this character Stedman will be invited to the faculty at the Hoover Institute...we need to keep track of these rotten apples.
Compare his Stanford track with Condoleeza Rice's who also was at the Institute for International Studies...
Dr. Rice joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1981, where she initially served as a fellow in the arms control and disarmament program. She went on to become a tenured professor in the university's political science department. Dr. Rice received several teaching distinctions during in her time at Stanford.
In 1984, she won the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and in 1993, she was awarded the School of Humanities and Sciences Dean’s Award for Distinguished Teaching. She also served as a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control and as a fellow of both the Institute for International Studies and the Hoover Institution. Rice ended a six year tenure as the University's provost in 1999.
I suspect that GWB's animus to retire the MX came from her, as he ultimately did in the Treaty of Moscow. John Bolton, as the State Dept. lead representative, negotiated it precisely as he was told. No doubt why Rice supports him to the hilt. That Treaty represents the one black mark on his record, as far as I am concerned.... but of course it will NEVER come up from the Senate RATs who of course see no problems with THAT particular issue. The less said about it the better, they will undoubtedly think. It would have been a real eye-opener to hear John Bolton's candid views about the treaty he negotiated in his report to Condoleeza. Wonder if those views ever got to the President?
It should be noted that Vance did not resign because Carter was too soft in dealing with the Iran of Ayatollah Khomeini, but because Carter mounted a military mission to rescue the Americans who were being held by Muslim fanatics.What an American. What a guy.
How could we have failed with somebody like Vance on our team?
