Former President Gerald R. Ford, a good man.

May he Rest In Peace.

[PAR35]

Ford came to office when the postwar consensus on foreign and economic policy was in ruins. The nation seemed on a downward trajectory at home and abroad. By dint of hard work and with the help of top-flight appointees, he helped to steer us toward a different course.

Written by someone with poor memory of the times. Ford's WIN was a failure; the economy didn't really improve until Reagan. And they carefully omit all mention of his role on the Warren Commission.
