grade
The story is that he got a C on the paper he wrote at Yale not an F. In a recent Fortune article he said he couldn't actually remember what he made and that the story comes from an offhanded remark he made at some point "I was asked what grade I got on it, and I stupidly said, 'I guess I got my usual gentlemanly C.' That stuck, and it's become a well-known story because everybody likes to flout authority. But to be honest, I don't really remember what grade I got. I probably didn't get a very good one, though, because it wasn't a well-thought-out paper." Link to the Fortune article [1]

The group is known as the Energy Security Leadership Council, also called for increasing U.S. oil and natural gas exploration, saying that could add 1 million to 2 million barrels of oil per day to the nation's supply. "Republicans need to accept sensible increases in vehicle fuel efficiency standards and Democrats must be willing to allow responsible expansion of oil exploration and production," said Fred Smith,

These contributions are not a conflict of interest. I did not write the Memphis Commercial Appeal story about Fred Smith's forgery indictment. The documentation is clear and provided by entities other than myself. The indictment and two fatal hit and runs are facts.
