Who really has the power behind the throne? For an interesting articles on at least two of "the men behind the throne" read this week's (7/4) Village Voice. It details how his good friend and now national security advisor William Clark, while a Cal. suprememe court justice, made a mockery of judicial procedure ethics. Especially interesting is the part where Reagan and Meese try to bribe the Chief Justice of the court. The fact the William Clark has any position of power in the foreign policy aparatus is an outrage. Clark flunked out of both Stanford and Loyala law schools and passed the California bar exam on his second try. This man was unable to identify the words "Detente" and "Third World" at his confirmation hearing. According to Senator Charles Percy, Republican of Ill., Clark was totally unqualified for job of National Security Advisor. Percy voted for him anyway because Reagan wanted him so much. As he voted he said something to the effect of "Never Again will I voted for such an incompetent". Too late. -- Larry Kolodney #13 (I try harder) (USENET) decvax!genrad!grkermit!larry allegra!linus!genrad!grkermit!larry harpo!eagle!mit-vax!grkermit!larry (ARPA) rms.g.lkk@mit-ai
