Slick Willie would be envious....Lindbergh quite busy in his off-time...
Lindbergh's character deficiencies are the reason why this latest allegation comes as no real surprise to me. Having three simultaneous mistresses and fathering seven children out of wedlock seems somehow to be in character for him. Little Falls, understandably, is having a bit of trouble recognizing the flaws of its favorite son:
"It has nothing to do with what he accomplished," said Little Falls resident Patricia Nicoski, who was showing some Chicago relatives around the tree-shaded site recently. "His moral standards are his own business."The Lindbergh home does generate a considerable amount of tourism every year. But it is time for historians to recognize that Lindbergh's blatant anti-semitism and kowtowing to one of the 20th century's most infamous despots should relegate him to much less than hero-status.
