Subject: As Gerald Ford said... our long national nightmare is over.

 "I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not 
only our Government, but civilization itself.  That bond, though 
strained, is unbroken at home and abroad.  In all my public and private 
acts as your President, I expect to follow my instincts of openness and 
candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in 
the end.  My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.  Our 
Constitution works; our great Republic is a Government of laws and not 
of men.  Here the people rule. But there is a higher Power, by whatever 
name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only 
justice but mercy."
