one of the old white men manipulated by Liz Holmes in the Theranos fraud. But he's in good company, including Henry Kissinger and Mad Dog Mattis.

Amazing how far back his public career spans. He was at the Council of Economic Advisors under Eisenhower, over 65 years ago.

Alot of history by him.

(And as Horace says, I remember from the podcast about that company, that he was induced to be on the board of directors)

A true statesman in every way. Moreover, an example of a respected and genuine conservative. A man of immense integrity. Not at all like the ersatz conservatives we see today throughout the world.
