| “ | What we hear in Bennett's light, airy saxophone and flute lines...is the great Jimmy Giuffre Three of yore. Giuffre also had a thing for folk, and Bennett is adding his own British-folk/American-minimalism sensibility to the mix. | ” |

“But ah, no more! this must not be foretold,
For women grieve to think they must be old.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“I have heard arguments ... in favor of pardoning D. M. Bennett, convicted of sending obscene matter through the mails, viz., a pamphlet [by Ezra Hervey Heywood] of a polemical character in favor of free love. While I am satisfied that Bennett ought not to have been convicted, I am not satisfied that I ought to undertake to correct the mistakes of the courts—constantly persisted in—by the exercise of the pardoning power.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
