...Nixon faced as President was a fiery National Archives librarian named Mary Livingston. In 1970 she was given personal papers Nixon wanted to donate to the archives, along with an affidavit, prepared by a manuscripts dealer, indicating the President had handed over the documents a year earlier, when old tax law would have afforded him a $450,000 tax benefit. Livingston spoke up about the ploy, prompting Congress to rule the deduction was improper...
...Republicans are in the mess they're in because they've followed Reagan's advice, not because they've ignored it. Today's budget deficits are the legacy of Reagan's tax-cut mania. Saddam Hussein's military might began growing with help from the Reagan Administration. Where would we be now if we had continued President Jimmy Carter's policies of investing in renewable energy rather than Reagan's policies of investing in the military? Journalists have a responsibility to base their work on realities, not myths. Cam Bauer, HAYWARD, CALIF...
...Klein's column about Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee served up an excellent snapshot of today's Republican way of thinking [March 26]. Republicans give tax breaks to oil companies that pocket record profits but scoff at a candidate who looks out for his fellow citizens.

That kind of thinking just doesn't pass muster in today's Republican Party. Mark McKay, PASCOAG...

What distinguishes the New American Story is the ethic of connectedness, which requires...
...saint. In 2000, France issued a warrant for Gaydamak's arrest, charging that he had contravened French law by engineering a deal that traded weapons, in exchange for oil, to an Angolan government then fighting a brutal civil war. (A year earlier, he had received a suspended sentence for tax evasion.) Gaydamak fled France to avoid arrest - even though he is a member of the Legion D'Honneur, inducted by President Jacques Chirac most likely in gratitude for Gaydamak's help in securing the release of Frenchmen who'd been taken hostage by Serb paramilitaries in 1995. While in Israel...
