I hadn't thought about Agnew in years until I read this. He was a low life then and his reputation isn't any better now. He'd have fit right in with Trump. Did anyone know then what kind of path he signaled? Good post.

I was lucky. It helped tune my ear and helped make me able to pick up expressions I didn't know when I was in Germany, Flanders, France.....
