An interesting quote from Colin Powell.....

"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."
-Colin Powell, 1995 in My American Journey

1. Oe of Bob Novak's sources --
-- revealed to me that Powell will step down from his post as Secretary of State in March and replace Alex Trabec as host of Jeapardy.

Well, ok, but I'll have to see some documentation...
