Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or order:
“Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“I’ve never been afraid to step out and to reach out and to move out in order to make things happen.”
