The most we got out of the Nixon debacle was mandatory ethics training for lawyers, and I can't say that that's really had much of a real impact.rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-35085527309220612822018-05-06T12:01:49.363-05:002018-05-06T12:01:49.363-05:00No one wants an insult clown at the funeral.
