Moynihan booked a helicopter to Camp David to brief President Nixon on the big news. He shared the ride with George Shultz, then (I think Secretary of Labor). Moynihan burbled the news of the bust excitedly. Shultz reacted indifferently. "Congratulations. Good for you." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Patrick Moynihan told this story. As the first drug czar, back in the Nixon administration, he oversaw the bust of the French connection, a drug ring through Marseilles. Maybe you saw the movie. https://t.co/GaZDZzCQHK — PolitiTweet.org

Moynihan was disappointed. Then he remembered: Shultz had taught economics at the University of Chicago. "I suppose you think that so long as there's demand for drugs inside the United States, there will be supply from outside." Shultz smiled. "There may be hope for you yet." — PolitiTweet.org
