My Take
Susan Ford fascinates me less for being a president's only daughter than for what she did with that spotlight. Raised in Washington, D.C. and educated at George Washington University, she chose photojournalism, the act of pointing the lens outward rather than performing under it. That instinct, plus her long stewardship of the Betty Ford Center against addiction, suggests someone who turned proximity to power into genuine service. I have a soft spot for public figures who decline the easy celebrity their name offers and build a quieter, harder kind of credibility. Ford strikes me as exactly that sort of person.
