the reason that ford pardons nixon is because if nixon was in trial in water gate, he was taking everybody down. he was going to reveal the cia's involvement of the kennedy acation sac nation, and you covered up the autopsy for the commission, which americans did not learn until 1996 after ford -- after nixon was dead. i'm convinced that's another missing piece of history. i have a book coming out in september called nixon's secret that will show what's in the 18.5 minute gap in the tapes, explains the pardon, and will talk about the relationship of the water gate to the kennedy assassination and bay of pigs. this is one thread of history. if you look at it, they have the same participants, the same people are involved, so i will interrelate those. all right, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the questions and for being here. it is time to sign books. many thanks.
