footnote to the Agnew item you posted.
Spiro Agnew while running for office in Maryland went by the name “Ted Agnew”, minimizing his Greek heritage. As the VP candidate for Nixon, the campaign chief had him revert to Spiro.
After the charges against Agnew were made, a MD Dem said they had been trying to nail him in the various re-election campaigns, “ He never stood still in one job so that we could nail the SOB, always moved to a higher position.”
Thanks, Covenantor. Politics seems to attract the corrupt.
