It shows the strength of party ties.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
