From the Vanity Fair story, which asks whether the man his old friends knew and loved has changed (and if so, why?)
"I do happen to know Ford thinks that he has gone too far to the right," Lou Cannon, the respected Ronald Reagan biographer who covered Ford for The Washington Post, tells me, adding, "I don't think he's had any sharp change in views, but I do think something has happened, and I don't know what that something is.""President Ford himself is more circumspect."
"Well," he tells me by telephone from Rancho Mirage, California, "he may have changed a bit, but that was required for the change of circumstances." Ford, who will turn 93 in July, adds,
"Times change, and people change as a result of that."
