The Answer Sheet - A teachable moment for and about the Secret Service


The Answer Sheet - A teachable moment for and about the Secret Service:

Scandal ensues. Michaele and Tareq Salahi become household names (actually I had to look them up; I know them only as “the gate crashers”). The reputation of the Secret Service is sullied."
