Ford was a moderate. He once got us funding to build a mass transit system. We could not agree as a region on what form it would take. Therefore we did not get money.

Any examples of his humor? I've heard some pretty good quips from JFK press conferences, but I don't recall Gerry Ford's humor. | ||
