I don't know that I have ever heard these details about his life. I only remember hearing political angles, mainly on the Watergate scandal.

You did answer the question that I was thinking... It tripped me that he was so bold in spouting anti-gay talk.

Of course, I feel it is tragic that women, like Pat, live their lives enduring painful circumstances inside destructive relationships. I would think she had the means (financially) to do something about her situation. In his treatment of her, he illustrates his image.

Have you looked into or written of Dan Rather? He seemed really into Bebe.
