Luther Gulick, a Republican who believed deeply in FDR and the New Deal, came to have little sympathy for Richard Nixon and the nonetity he picked for his vice president in 1968, Spiro T. Agnew. Once again, Gulick proved clairvoyant, as this letter he sent to The New York Times just before election day shows.

Alas, the Times rejected the letter. But we know how Agnew ended up.
