Entry: Gottfried's Latest Gem Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gottfrieds_latest_gem#3889 Post contents: Sadly, R.A.T. developed cancer and left this world in 1953, which would've left the fate of the nation in the hands of his Vice President, whomever that might have been. At least with Ike, we did pretty well, and he has the distinction of being the last President to stand up to Israel, in '56, over the Suez Crisis. Nobility of mind does trump nobility of birth; this is shown in R.A.T.'s case, as his grandson, the former Governor of Ohio, shared little of the Taft line's signature political virtues - integrity and old-school conservatism, however much he looked like his splendid Grandfather.
