Clinton, unfortunately, hardly sets the standard for post-White House greed, said Jeff Jacoby in The Boston Globe. When he retired, Gerald Ford gobbled up "high-paying board members" with 20th Century Fox and American Express. Ronald Reagan was paid $2 million for two 20-minute speeches in Japan. George Herbert Walker Bush charges up to $100,000 for each appearance. Contrast them with Harry Truman, who left office in 1953 with no government support except his Army pension of $112.56 a month. He turned down commercial endorsments, consulting fees, jobs on corporate boards, and even a free car. "I could never lend myself to any transacion," Truman wrote, "that would commercialize on the prestige of dignity of the office of the presidency." A half-century later, thata kind of integrity seems as "quaint and obsolete as George Washington's wooden teeth."
