I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history.
The 1950s and 1960s had been a period of enormous growth, the highest in American history, maybe in economic history.
Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically.
To me, Cary Grant is probably the most fashionable man in the history of Hollywood. The guy was just slick. He did it so effortlessly.
The Jews' greatest contribution to history is dissatisfaction! We're a nation born to be discontented. Whatever exists we believe can be changed for the better.
My place in history will depend on what I can do for the people and not on what the people can do for me.
