under our present system for choosing presidents he would probably be wiped out in the polls for showing badly fitted false Teeth in his television trying to guess what history will say is Tricky a Hundred years from now schoolchildren compelled to study american history from John Kennedy to Ronald Reagan arc More Likely than not to Lump All five presi dents of the Era under the Label of general confusion and let them go at this is what most americans do nowadays with the presidents Between Andrew Jackson and Abranam Lincoln and those Between an Drew Johnson and William even people who have read some history have Trou ble telling you whether Franklin Pierce pre ceded Millard where Zachary Taylor filled How he differed from John which Harrison was Benjamin and which Wil Liam and what Chester Arthur did that was different from what Rutherford Hayes people a Hundred years hence Are probably going to be equally baffled about the five presi dents we have had since when presidents come

Nice but the one who had to quit because he made a mess of the Vietnam it will probably take you a while to remember that it was Gerald Ford who followed Nix and even if you do remember you Are prob ably going to forget altogether to include As people nowadays forget to include it James Polk when trying to remember who came Between John Tyler and Zachary students who Are cunning about grades May be Able to keep things properly sorted out by using the phrase a very wet november Breeze As a memory device in which a stands for assassinated the y in very for Vietnam the w in wet Tor watergate the

Breezy by his nickname Jimmy rather than is not a great distinction for a but on the other hand it is not discreditable it is certainly not so bad As being remembered by Vietnam or water Gate in the Long far preferable to being remembered by it is not so to be As being remembered by Nice but it is better than not being remembered at for if Carter can get himself remembered Way up there in the future some student May be moved to ask the teacher what Carter i fancy the teacher will have to reflect a minute before saying something he really didst do anything terribly dreadful at for the Era
