Reply #44: I don't know enough about the political climate of the time

to form an opinion. I have earmarked some of the sites people have mentioned on Ford and am going to read them when I have a chance. I have heard both that the pardon was a mistake and that it was the right thing at the time to get the country moving forward. It probably depends on who is doing the looking back as to how they see it. My mother told me that she thought it was the right thing to do. But then she is one of those people who avoids any kind of confrontation, so that gels with her personality.
