I suppose all private enterprise is nothing but `sweetheart' deals to
a loser like you.  The Hallibuton Co. has aided the oil explorers and
producers of this country find ,refine, and move their products to
weasels like you who turn a key in your ignition without a thought of
the work that went into providing the means for your motor to start or
a thought to who worked to build the highways you travel on. You never
give a second thought as to who was in Vietnam trying to bring some
meager facilities to the Americans who fought there. Of the employees
who went to do the job under conditions where they might well be
strangled with wire as they slept or assassinated more openly during
the day. You probably don't have time to wonder who built pipelines to
supply you with gas and oil to fire your furnace in the winter or
operate the generation plants that furnish you with electricity. It is
all `sweetheart' deals to you.  Oh, by the way the Americans known as
stockholders have to employ men of great ability to watch over these
large enterprises keep the employees and stockholders happy with
`sweetheart' deals also know a business.
There is probably a bigger profit margin in baking bagels, so if you
are looking for a sweetheart deal, open a bagel shop.

And even after all his subsequent career, he freely shared his advice
and experience with other American Presidents when they sought it. I
wonder if a path will be beaten to Billy Clinton's NY diggings when he
departs by any other than perhaps a few girlies such as Ms. Lowensky
or maybe Larry Flint for an interview.
