In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
