ST. LOUIS -- A newspaper review of more than 1,000 pages of internal FBI documents on Thomas Eagleton found no evidence that the agency leaked information about his treatment for depression, a revelation that ended his vice presidential campaign.
The public disclosure of his mental illness and shock therapy forced him to withdraw as Democrat George McGovern's running mate in 1972. Some questioned whether the FBI, which had kept tabs on Eagleton since the 1950s, had shared his medical information with the media or others. (cont)
Would this man, who was in a mental institution, be able to get a LTC in Massachusetts? If he went voluntarily, would he have to reveal that in his application?
