—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
