Today in Labor History June 21, 1982: John Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the attempted assassination of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. A Few years later (1990), Reagan was found not guilty by reason of dementia, when he said “I don’t recall,” 88 times during the Iran-Contra hearings, a rate of more than 10 per hour. (In 1994, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s). https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4917030/user-clip-dont-recall

I have found the worst article on #wikipedia: the bio page for Cuban-American CIA agent Felix Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a big deal -- he led the operation that tracked down and killed #CheGuevara and he was also connected to #IranContra -- but his page makes little to no sense as a narrative of his life. Reading the Talk page, it looks like hard-right Cuban exiles have made a concerted effort to take it over and have faced pushback from neutral editors. The result is anodyne, disconnected garbage.
