Spiro T. Agnew, Ex-Vice President, Dies at 77 - The New York Times: "In a 1980 television interview, Mr. Agnew said: ''I wouldn't recommend anyone go into politics today, any young person. Because it's just people, the expectation of people from people in public office is just so high that no ordinary man can ever perform to suit them.'' The interviewer then asked if honesty could not legitimately be expected. ''Yes,'' Mr. Agnew said, ''but honesty is a different thing to different people.''
