...also a convenient escape for Ford from the Washington snake pit. But he was rarely allowed to forget Watergate for long. As he put it, he had "to walk a very fine line." Occasionally, he stepped over it. At first, he was almost an unabashed apologist for the President's defense strategy and once even used language supplied by White House speechwriters for a shrill attack on "groups like the AFL-CIO, the Americans for Democratic Action and other powerful pressure organizations."

Another New York housewife recently expended the last half-gallon of gas in the family car to rush her ailing plant to the nearest cactus clinic. "It's stopped growing," she cried, "and the leaves keep falling off. I've tried everything, from Mozart to peat moss. What am I doing wrong...
