“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail.

—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“As soldiers we have few saving graces. Perhaps our willingness to die for what we believe in is all that matters.”
—Leo V. Gordon, U.S. screenwriter, and Arthur Hiller. Col. Harker (Nigel Green)
