RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) - Former President Gerald R. Ford, who declared 'Our long national nightmare is over' as he replaced Richard Nixon but may have doomed his own chances of election by pardoning his disgraced predecessor, has died. He was 93.

The nation's 38th president, and the only one not elected to the office or the vice presidency, died at his desert home at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday.

'His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country,' his wife, Betty, said in a statement.
