Without all of this, ... Jimmy Carter nor Bill Clinton might never have been elected president.
From my discussions with Michael, his finances were structured precisely according to his wishes. I understand the money is exactly where it is supposed to be.
She was strong if not stronger than he was.
There is no safer place to put your money than in the middle of the U.S.
