cruise threw their sunglasses · in the
ring -- it wOlild have been far easier
to go along with the crowd.
The early findings are good. Everybody my committee has spoken to
enthusiastically .supports my noncandidacy. My committee reports not
only a broad 'and deep lack of interest
in my running for president, but for
any office.
"I wouldn't support him ifhe were
rmining for dog catcher," was a typic~il comment. I am both humbled and
grateful. So I won't be entertaining
friends in the Oval Ot1ice any tinie
soon, but I can always indulge' in
"stimulus-independent thought."
