And Sir Gerald again
And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.”

“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold.

—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
