Well, of course, that's the famous headline from the Chicago Tribune. I got it when I was in Independence, Missouri, at the Truman Library. And I'm a big admirer of President Truman. He was my neighbor--you know, Arkansas and Missouri border each other--and I always--I like having that on my desk. It reminds me that things are not always what they seem and that it's important to keep fighting. I look at it every day; I have it right there on the desk. Mr. Lamb. If you could talk to any past President--and I know you just got off the golf links with a couple of them--who would it be, and what would you want to talk to him about?
