JIM LEHRER: Now some reflections on Spiro Agnew from David Keene who was Agnews political assistant at the White House, he is now chairman of the American Conservative Union, and NewsHour regular Haynes Johnson, who was an assistant managing editor of the Washington Post during the Nixon-Agnew years.
