Truest Reaganaut
Here's a cute little fact about John Bolton:
Into this power vacuum stepped [John] Bolton, 56, the son of a D-Day veteran and a homemaker mother, whose conservatism was firmly established by the time he left his native Baltimore for Yale University in the turbulent 1960s.
After collecting undergraduate and law degrees from that Ivy League school, he moved to Washington and, in 1981, joined the Reagan administration as a lawyer and administrator in the U.S. Agency for International Development. Colleagues there gave him a grenade marked "Truest Reaganaut."
What's the craziest thing here? That people called themselves "Reaganauts"? That they competed to see who could be the most blindly loyal? Or that the prize -- among colleagues in the Agency for International Development -- was a grenade?
