One of the main figures in the Watergate scandal died today. Colson was 80. He did many good things after becoming a Christian in the late '70s.

According to the article he was already converting. Jail entrenched it. Good for him.

I have always heard there are many conversions resulting from the rectal trauma of finding one's pecking order while incarcerated.

Wonderful to hear somebody got to him in the end.
