“Sometimes I think we’re the only two lawyers in Washington who trust each other.”
—Elizabeth Dole (b. 1936)
“To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.”
