He was standing by himself inside the clubhouse at Saratoga one day the summer after this happened and I told him that I thought Ben's replacement was extremely unfortunate and that if it was ever correctable ( which I knew was ridiculous ) he should consider it.

At least now I know what gum feels like when you scrape it off your shoe.

I can't think of a George in politics that I would call now that McGovern is dead.

However, I wish they would stop calling me.
