    The future of America may or may not bring forth a black President, a woman President, a Jewish President, but it most certainly always will have a suburban President. A President whose senses have been defined by the suburbs, where lakes and public baths mutate into back yards and freeways, where walking means driving, where talking means telephoning, where watching means TV, and where living means real, imitation life.
    Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)

    It is the future that creates his present.
    All is an interminable chain of longing.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
    John Adams (1735–1826)
