…for personal profit.

When I was in high school this was a couple of sentences in a history class; maybe because even the teachers didn’t know what it was truly all about.

One day I’m in my car listening to NPR and interview with Layton McCarthy on his book “Teapot Dome.”

Went right to bookstore and bought it! Reads like a novel. READ IT!!!

Neguse may be right.
