After reading the article about P.G. Sittenfeld ’07, I am left with the impression that nobody with any scruples would want to be a politician. It seems that the supposed friend was in trouble and somehow got the FBI to go after Mr. Sittenfeld instead. The whole game of politics has become so corrupt that any reasonable person should wonder if the specter of doing something for the “common good” is worth the price one has to pay to be nominated or elected.
Until the recent change in the candidacy for president, one could have reasonably wondered if there would have been any chance to be able to follow Princeton’s motto in the modern political sphere.
