Sir: President Johnson's failure to reconcile candor with public statement came to be known as the credibility gap. Spiro Agnew has developed his own brand of un-believability-the incredibility gap.

Sir: Many of us could wish that we had a more polished Vice President, but I would rather have to endure a little crudity with integrity than any amount of polish without it.
Sir: In the matter of the Vice President's alleged IQ of 135-we demand a recount.
